PHARMACOLOGIC PROPERTIES
Tilozin is an antibiotic agent with bacteriostatic activity; it has been designed specifically for veterinary use. Tilozin is effective against gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria including streptococci, staphylococci, leptospira, corynebacteria, clostridia, erysipelothrixes, pasterellae, chlamidiae, treponema hyodysenteriae, spirochets and mycoplasma. After Tilozin has been introduced intramuscularly, it quickly resorbs and reaches its maximal concentration in tissues within 1 hour after injection. After that, drug retains its therapeutic concentration for 20-24 hours. Tilozin leaves the body mostly with urine and bile secretions; for lactating animals it can also leave the body with milk.
Tilozin belongs to low hazardous substances.
