Bimeda is pleased to announce the launch of Macrosyn (tulathromycin injection) 100mg/mL. Macrosyn is a ready-to-use injectable solution containing 100 mg of tulathromycin/mL, a broad spectrum, fast-acting antibiotic for use in cattle and swine. Macrosyn is available in 100mL, 250mL, and 500mL sizes.
In gaining approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Macrosyn was granted the same label claims as Draxxin and is bioequivalent to the pioneer product in:
- Active ingredient & inactive ingredients (including carriers and excipients)
- Strength, dosage form & route of administration
Macrosyn is a great addition to Bimeda's extensive range of products.
