VETERINARY PACKAGE INSERT MECOTIL 200 SOL (20% TILMICOSIN) PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Mecotil 200 Sol is a brownish colour liquid, which contains 20% tilmicosin, in 1 L bottle. PHARMACODYNAMICS & PHARMACOKINETICS Like other macrolides, tilmicosin has activity primarily against gram-positive bacteria, although some gram-negative bacteria are affected and the drug reportedly has some activity against mycoplasma. Preliminary studies have shown that 95% of studied isolates of Pasteurella haemolytica are sensitive. When administered orally to chickens, turkeys and pigs with drinking water, tilmicosin is absorbed and moves rapidly out of the serum into areas of low pH. This results in very low serum concentrations, but detectable levels of tilmicosin are found in lung tissue as early as 6 hours after starting the treatment. In chicken or turkeys, tilmicosin is also detected in pooled air sac tissue as early as 6 hours after starting the treatment. It is also known that tilmicosin is concentrated in alveolar macrophages of swine. INDICATION _Chickens/Turkey:_ For the treatment and prevention of respiratory disease in chicken/turkey flocks, associated with Mycoplasma gallisepticum and M. synoviae. _Pigs:_ For the treatment and control of respiratory infections in pig herds, associated with Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Pasteurella Multocida, Actinobacillus Pleuropneumoniae and other organisms sensitive to Tilmicosin.
