Authorised
This medicine is authorised for use in the European Union.

Overview

Tulissin is an antibiotic medicine that is used to treat the following diseases if they are caused by bacteria that are susceptible to it:

  • bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in cattle caused by Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Histophilus somni and Mycoplasma bovis;
  • infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) in cattle, an eye disease caused by Moraxella bovis;
  • swine respiratory disease (SRD) in pigs caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Haemophilus parasuis and Bordetella bronchiseptica;
  • early stages of foot rot in sheep caused by Dichelobacter nodosus, which requires treatment with a medicine given by mouth or by injection.

Tulissin can also be used for metaphylaxis of BRD and SRD. This involves treating at the same time both diseased animals and healthy animals in close contact with them, to prevent further spread of the disease. The medicine should only be used for metaphylaxis in cattle and pigs once presence of the disease in the herd has been established.

Tulissin contains the active substance tulathromycin.

Tulissin is a ‘generic medicine’. This means that Tulissin contains the same active substance and works in the same way as a ‘reference medicine’ already authorised in the European Union (EU) called Draxxin.
