COMPOSITION

PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Spiramycin, contained in Spiravl Solution for Injection, is an antibiotic belonging to the macrolide group, obtained from Streptomyces ambofaciens cultures. It binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit in bacteria, inhibiting the elongation of the peptide chain and thereby disrupting protein synthesis.
Spiramycin is effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as Mycoplasma and Chlamydia. Sensitive bacteria include Staphylococcus species (including penicillinase-producing strains), Streptococcus species, Corynebacterium pyogenes, Clostridium perfringens, Mycoplasma species, Pasteurella haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus somnus, Fusobacterium necrophorum, Bacteroides species, Enterococcus species, Neisseria intracellularis, Listeria monocytogenes, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Leptospira ictero-hemorrhagiae, Toxoplasma, Brucella, and Rickettsia species.
After intramuscular administration in calves, peak plasma concentration is reached within 1 hour, at a level of 2.32 µg/ml. The drug distributes throughout the body tissues, particularly found in high concentrations in the milk ducts, lungs, pleura, and bronchial fluid. The drug is primarily excreted unchanged via bile.
AREA OF USE/INDICATIONS
It is used in cattle for the treatment of mastitis caused by spiramycin-sensitive microorganisms (including Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp., and Mycoplasma spp.), foot rot, respiratory infections (enzootic pneumonia caused by Pasteurella spp. and Mycoplasma spp.), arthritis, metritis, enteritis, omphalophlebitis, and omphalitis.
