For subcutaneous use only.
Use a single treatment of 10 mg tilmicosin per kg body weight (corresponding to 1 ml Tilmovet per 30 kg body weight).
Cattle:
Method of administration:
To ensure the correct dosage, the body weight must be determined as accurately as possible in order to avoid underdosing.
Withdraw the required dose from the vial and remove the syringe from the needle, leaving the needle in the vial. When a group of animals has to be treated, leave the needle in the vial to remove the subsequent doses. Restrain the animal and insert a separate needle subcutaneously at the injection site, preferably in a skinfold over the rib cage behind the shoulder. Attach the syringe to the needle and inject into the base of the skinfold. Do not inject more than 20 ml per injection site.
Sheep:
Method of administration:
Accurate weighing of lambs is important to avoid overdosing. The use of a 2 ml syringe or smaller improves accurate dosing.
Withdraw the required dose from the vial and remove the syringe from the needle, leaving the needle in the vial. Restrain the sheep whilst leaning over the animal and insert a separate needle subcutaneously into the injection site, which should be in a skinfold over the rib cage behind the shoulder. Attach the syringe to the needle and inject into the base of the skin fold. Do not inject more than 2 ml per injection site.
If no improvement is noted within 48 hours, the diagnosis should be confirmed.
Avoid introduction of contamination into vial during use. The vial should be inspected visually for any foreign particulate matter and/or abnormal physical appearance. In the event of either being observed, discard the vial.
The closure should not be broached more than 15 times. In order to prevent excessive broaching of the stopper, a suitable multiple dosing device should be used.
