Tilmotil 25%

Presentation:

Tilmicosin is a semi-synthetic antibiotic of the macrolide group and is believed to affect protein synthesis. It has bacteriostatic action but at high concentrations it may be bactericidal. This antibacterial activity is predominantly against Gram-positive microorganism with activity against certain gram-negative ones and Mycoplasma of a bovine, porcine, ovine and avian origin. In particular, its activity has been demonstrated against the following microorganism: Chickens and turkeys: Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae Scientific evidence suggests that macrolides act synergistically with the host immune system. Macrolides appear to enhance phagocyte killing of bacteria. Tilmicosin has been shown to inhibit in vitro the replication of the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus in alveolar macrophages in a dose dependent fashion. Cross-resistance between tilmicosin and other macrolides and lincomycin has been observed.
