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 beef cattle and non-lactating dairy
cattle, Tylan 200 Injection is indicated for use in the treatment of
bovine respiratory complex (shipping fever, pneumonia) usually associated with
Pasteurella multocida and Actinomyces pyogenes; foot rot (necrotic
pododermatitis) and diphtheria caused by Fusobacterium necorphorum and
metritis caused by Actinomyces pyogenes.
In swine, Tylan 200
Injection is indicated for use in the treatment of swine arthritis caused by
Mycoplasma hyosynoviae; 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.
