SUANOVEN 150

Composition

Each 100 grams of SUANOVEN 150 contains Spiramycin (as adipate) at a concentration of 150 million international units (MIU).

Properties

Spiramycin is a macrolide antibiotic with bactericidal activity at therapeutic levels. It is well absorbed, concentrates in tissues like the lungs and ovaries, and accumulates in macrophages. Its half-life is 6.2–7.7 hours and its pharmacologic effect outlasts other macrolides. Spiramycin is mainly excreted via bile and urine, inhibits protein synthesis, and is used to treat Mycoplasma and Clostridium perfringens infections in poultry.

Indications

SUANOVEN 150 is indicated for the treatment of chronic respiratory disease (Mycoplasma gallisepticum), infectious synovitis (Mycoplasma synoviae), arthritis, and infectious sinusitis (Mycoplasma meleagridis) in poultry.
