Pharmacological properties

АТС vet QJ01 — combinations of antibacterials for systemic use. QJ01RA90 — tetracyclines, combinations with other antibacterials, except trimethoprim.

Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotic of the tetracycline group. It is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative baccteria (Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Bac. аnthracis, Clostridium spp., Listeria spp., Actinomyces spp., Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Yersinia spp., Bordetella spp., Campylobacter spp., E. coli, Haemophilus spp., Pasteurella spp., Salmonella spp.), chlamydiae (Chlamydia spp.), mycoplasma (Mycoplasma spp.) and rickettsiae (Rickettsia spp.). Doxycycline inhibits synthesis of microbial cell proteins, binding receptors of ribosomal 30S subunit in microorganisms. It blocks attachment of aminoacyl tRNA to acceptor site, preventing attachment of new amino acids to peptide chain and preventing in such way synthesis of microbial proteins.

Tiamulin  is a semi-synthetic antibiotic of the diterpenes group. It is effective against gram-positive (Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Clostridium spp., Corynebacterium spp., Erysipelothrix spp., Listeria spp.) and certain gram-negative microorganisms (Haemophilus influenzae, Pasteurella multocida, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Campylobacter spp.), spirochetes (Serpulina hyodysenteriae, S. innocens, S. pilosicoli, S. suis), as well as Lawsonia intracellularis. The mechanism of its antibacterial activity consists in inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis at the level of ribosomal 50S subunit.

After oral administration, doxycycline is well absorbed from the digestive tract and reaches its maximum serum concentration in 2 hours. It penetrates into lungs, thus, it is effective in treatment of respiratory infections. Feed in digestive tract does not affect doxycycline absorption. Antibiotic bioavailability is 50-80 %. Doxycycline is well dissolved in lipids and distributes in most tissues. It is subject to minor biotransformations before excretion. Half-life in chickens makes 4.8 hours, in swine- 3.9 hours. Doxycycline, unlike other tetracyclines, is released into intestinal tract in large amount and inactivated. Out of 90% of the substance 16% is excreted in urine, about 5% - in bile, the rest is excreted intestinally.

Tiamulin is quickly absorbed from digestive tract and penetrates into all swine organs and tissues, its maximum concentration is observed in 2 hours following administration. The antibiotic is primarily excreted in feces.

Administration

Swine. Treatment of dysentery, atrophic rhinitis, enzootic pneumonia, actinobacillosis pleuropneumonia, hemophilosis, intestinal spirochetosis, salmonellosis, colibacteriosis, necrotic enteritis, caused by microorganisms sensitive to tiamulin and doxycycline.

Hens (chickens, broiler chickens) and turkeys. Treatment of diseases of digestive tract and respiratory organs caused by tiamulin - and doxycycline-sensitive microorganisms (Mycoplasma gallisepticum, Mycoplasma synoviae and Mycoplasma meleagridis).

Dosage

Orally with feed or drinking water in the following doses:

• swine - 0.5-1 kg of the drug per 1000 kg of feed or 0.25-0.5 kg of the drug per 1000 l of drinking water once a day for 7 days;
• hens (chickens, broiler chickens) and turkeys -0.25-0.5 kg of the drug per 1000 kg of feed or 0.125-0.25 kg of the drug per 1000 l of drinking water once a day for 7 days.

Contraindications

Do not administer to animals with hypersensitivity to tetracyclines and tiamulin as well as to animals with kidney and liver disorders.

Avoid administration of drugs containing monensin, maduramycin, narasin, lasalocid or salinomycin at least in 7 days prior to, during and in 7 days following administration of tiamulin as this may cause deterioration in health condition or even death.

Do not administer in combination with penicillins, cephalosporins, quinolones, erythromycin, sulfonamides, chloramphenicol and chlorpromazine as well as with drugs, containing magnesium, calcium and aluminum cations, as the latter bind to doxycycline and prevent its absorption.

Do not administer to hens and turkeys, laying eggs for human consumption.

Do not administer to pregnant and lactating animals.

Precautions

Animal slaughter for meat is possible in 10 days following the last administration of the drug. Meat, obtained before the mentioned term shall be utilized or fed to non-productive animals depending on the statement of a veterinary physician.

Doxycycline as the drug component may cause structural changes in liver and kidneys, diarrhea.

It is recommended to avoid drug administration in combination with antacids, oxidants and kaolin.
