Special Precautions

Tylosin is an antibiotic in the macrolide family, and is considered critically important to human and animal health. Indiscriminate use of this antibiotic can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance, and it should not be used as a first line treatment. The use of this antibiotic should be reserved for the treatment of conditions that respond poorly to other classes of antibiotic following culture and sensitivity testing, or in cases where other treatments have been clinically determined to be ineffective.

Use of this antibiotic should be limited to the minimum period needed to meet the clinical objective. Clinical response should be monitored during treatment, and choice of therapy reviewed if clinical signs of disease persist, increase, or relapse.
