Tylosin Tartrate
Tylosin Tartrate is a water-soluble macrolide antibiotic derived from Streptomyces fradiae, primarily used in veterinary medicine. It is the tartrate salt form of tylosin, enhancing its solubility and making it ideal for administration via drinking water or injectable solutions. Tylosin Tartrate is active against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative organisms, as well as Mycoplasma spp. It is particularly effective for treating respiratory, gastrointestinal, and reproductive infections in livestock and poultry.
