In case of emergency/overdose

Tylosin is relatively safe in most overdose situations.

The LD50 in pigs is greater than 5 g/kg orally, and approximately 1 g/kg IM. However, shock and death have been reported in baby pigs overdosed with tylosin.

Dogs are re­ported to tolerate oral doses of 800 mg/kg. Long-term (2 year) oral administration of up to 400 mg/kg produced no organ toxicity in dogs.

In cases of human injection, contact your local physician immediately. Furthermore, the manufacturer has emergency phone number to assist in dealing with exposure: 1-800-428-4441.
