We have found that Tylan is the best abx for swine arthritis resulting from mycoplasma.
It is an antibiotic though and a tolerance develops. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robb Allen To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, October 12, 2002 2:21 PM Subject: Re: CS>Tylosin Hi Marshall.......I got it from an animal supply company.......what I bought is called Tylan 200 injectable.....but I am taking it orally......{putting it in capsules}.........it is only about 20 dollars for a good sized bottle.....250 ml........I'll post a little bit of the literature supplied with it....as far as I know.....they don't make it ...or anything like it for people.......we wouldn't want to put the rheumatologists out of work would we?....... Actions: Tylan has an antibacterial spectrum that is essentially gram positive, but it is also active against certain spirochetes, large viruses, and certain gram-negative organisms {not including coliforms}. It has also been found to be active against certain Mycoplasma species. In swine, Tylan 200 injection is indicated for use in the treatment of swine arthritis caused by Mycoplasma hyosvnoviae; swine pneumonia caused by Pasteurella spp.; swine erysipelas caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae; acute swine dysentery associated with treponema hyodysenteriae when followed by appropriate medication in the drinking water and/or feed. The dosage is as follows: 4 mg per pound of body weight twice daily. treatment should be continued 24 hours following remission of desease signs.

Was it prescribed by a doctor, or did you get if from a vet or animal supply company? Is it liquid, pill, or IV? Marshall Robb Allen wrote: I am coming to the end of my 4th day of being on Tylosin. I am having the biggest and worst killoff of mycoplasma that I have ever had.....right now if I had crutches, I'd use them. Everywhere on my body that has mycoplasma hurts very very bad......which means I"m very very happy........this is the first and only antibiotic that I've tried that has produced a herx effect. From my life-long experience with hogs and cattle....at the end of 14 days I should over this. I havn't encountered any other side effects from this drug.......and I never have on any of the animals I've used it on either. If this works, I will recommend it for mycoplasma. CS brought me a long ways.....I used to be much worse than I am now........We have never seen a reccurence of mycoplasma in any animal treated with this drug.......The literature supplied with this drug hints that "cured" animals may pass Mycoplasma to their young.....but we have never seen this happen either.............Keeping my fingers crossed.

I don't know about the supermarket, but you will find 3% USP grade at a drugstore. That is probably what you want -- you didn't say. If you plan to ingest it with CS then 3% is right. Jack
