[Several pharmacokinetic studies on "Farmakhim" tylosin phosphate]

Studies were carried out on the resorption in the digestive tract the binding with the tissue elements, the dissemination within the body, and the residual amounts of tylosine "Pharmachim" phosphate and its pelleted drug formulation tylosine-200. It was found that tylosine-200 was well resorbed by the intestinal mucosa of pigs and birds, and was weakly and variably utilized by calves. The blood concentrations of tylosine-200 in pigs and birds in the first hours following treatment surpassed by 1 to 5 times those resulting from the administering of the analogous therapeutic formula Tylan AF 99 of the Elanco Firm. The tylosine phosphate was found to combine reversely with the tissue in birds and pigs. The quantitative indices of this process were used to specify the actual content of the antibiotic in the body. Experiments with birds and pigs revealed that the tylosine phosphate released from tylosine 220 pellets invaded to a virious extent organs, tissues, and fluids and passed through seroses, and the blood-brain and blood-ocular barriers. It was excreted in substantial amounts with the urine and the bile. It was established that on the 5th day after the administration of the drug was discontinued the body of mammals and birds was practically free from the preparation. No differences in the distribution within the body and the retention were found between tylosine-200 and Tylan AF 99.
