Warnings:
Animals must not be slaughtered for human consumption during treatment.
Dose - 1.5 to 2 mg tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per kg bodyweight: Pigs may be slaughtered for human consumption only after 24 hours from the last treatment.
Dose - 5 mg tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per kg bodyweight: Pigs may be slaughtered for human consumption only after 4 days from the last treatment.
Contra-indications:
Animals should not receive products containing monensin, narasin or salinomycin, during or for at least seven days before or after treatment with tiamulin hydrogen fumarate at the 100g per tonne (equivalent to 5mg/kg bodyweight daily dose). Severe growth depression or death may result.
Interaction has been observed between tiamulin hydrogen fumarate at 30-40g per tonne of feed and narasin at 70g per tonne of feed.
Operator Warnings:
When mixing, direct contact with the skin and eyes should be avoided by wearing impermeable rubber gloves and safety glasses. In case of accidental eye contact, irrigate the eyes thoroughly with clean running water immediately. Seek medical advice if irritation persists. When handling the product, inhalation of the dust must be avoided by wearing a disposable half-mask respirator conforming to European Standard EN 149 or a non-disposable respirator to European Standard EN 140 with a filter to EN 143.
Contaminated clothing should be removed and any splashes on to the skin should be washed off immediately.
Wash hands after use.
Pharmaceutical Warnings:
Do not store above 25°C. Store in a dry place. Protect from light.
To ensure thorough dispersion, the product should first be mixed with a suitable quantity of feed ingredients before incorporation in the final mix.
The product will remain stable in meal feed and pelleted feed for 8 weeks.
Precautions:
To be used in pig rations only.
On rare occasions erythema or mild oedema of the skin may occur in pigs following the use of tiamulin hydrogen fumarate.
If there is no response to treatment within 5 days, the diagnosis should be re-established.
Severely affected pigs showing inappetence should be medicated with Denagard 12.5% Solution or Denagard 200 Injection.
Further Information:
Studies have shown that 30-40g per tonne of feed tiamulin hydrogen fumarate in the feed will reduce production losses associated with enzootic pneumonia. A reduction in clinical disease incidence or severity may not necessarily be seen. Attention should be paid to ventilation and stocking density in conjunction with medication. If this product is incorporated in an intermediate feeding stuff, care should be taken to ensure that the intermediate feeding stuff is incorporated at a rate which will yield the same concentration of active ingredient in the final feed as stated in the Medicated Feedingstuffs (MFS) Prescription.
The product is compatible with recommended doses of chlortetracycline and tylosin.
Studies have shown that at tiamulin hydrogen fumarate inclusion levels of 30-40g per tonne (equivalent to 1.5 2.0mg/kg bodyweight daily) no interaction occurs with salinomycin at 60g per tonne in the feed or monensin at 100g per tonne in the feed.
Keep out of reach of children.
