RESIDUE WARNING: Swine intended for human consumption must not be slaughtered within 7 days of the last treatment with this product.
The cardiovascular system is the target of toxicity and should be monitored closely. Cardiovascular toxicity may be due to calcium channel blockade. In dogs, administration of intravenous calcium offset tilmicosin-induced tachycardia and negative inotropy (decreased contractility). Dobutamine partially offset the negative inotropic effects induced by tilmicosin injection in dogs. ß-adrenergic antagonists, such as propranolol, exacerbated the negative inotropy of tilmicosin injection in dogs. Epinephrine potentiated lethality of tilmicosin injection in pigs. This antibiotic persists in tissues for several days.
