Spiramycin adipate

Spiramycin Adipate

Spiramycin Adipate is a highly water-soluble macrolide antibiotic distinguished by its exceptional tissue affinity, particularly for the lungs and mammary glands. It exhibits potent activity against Mycoplasma species, Gram-positive bacteria (such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus), and certain Gram-negative organisms. Unlike many antibiotics that remain primarily in the blood, Spiramycin concentrates heavily in infected tissues and secretions, making it a premier choice for treating Chronic Respiratory Disease (CRD) in poultry, enzootic pneumonia in pigs, and clinical mastitis in cattle. The adipate salt form ensures excellent solubility, allowing for easy administration via drinking water or formulation into injectable solutions, providing rapid and targeted control of deep-seated infections.
