Special warnings

Special precautions for use in animals: Do not exceed the recommended dose.

Repeat injections should be administered at different sites. Enrofloxacin should be used with caution in epileptic animals or animals affected by renal dysfunction.

Degenerative changes of articular cartilage were observed in calves treated orally with 30 mg enrofloxacin/kg b.w. for 14 days.

The use of enrofloxacin in growing lambs at the recommended dose for 15 days caused histological changes in the articular cartilage, not associated with clinical signs.

Official and local antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when the product is used.

Fluoroquinolones should be reserved for the treatment of clinical conditions which have responded poorly, or are expected to respond poorly, to other classes of antimicrobials.

Whenever possible, fluoroquinolones should only be used based on susceptibility testing.

Use of the product deviating from the instructions given in the SPC may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to the fluoroquinolones and may decrease the effectiveness of treatment with other quinolones due to the potential for cross resistance.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals: The product is an alkaline solution. Wash any splashes from skin or eyes immediately with water.

Do not eat, drink or smoke whilst using the product.

Care should be taken to avoid accidental self-injection. If accidental self injection occurs seek medical advice immediately.

Direct contact with the skin should be avoided because of sensitisation, contact dermatitis and possible hypersensitivity reactions. Wear gloves.

Pregnancy and lactation: Can be used during pregnancy and lactation.

Do not use in cases of known hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones or to any of the excipients.

Do not use in growing horses because of possible deleterious damage on articular cartilage.

Interactions: Antagonistic effects due to concurrent administration of macrolides, and tetracyclines may occur.

Enrofloxacin may interfere with the metabolism of theophylline, decreasing theophylline clearance resulting in increased plasma levels of theophylline.

Overdose: Do not exceed the recommended dose. In accidental overdose (lethargy, anorexia) there is no antidote and treatment should be symptomatic. No signs of over dosage were observed in pigs following administration of the product at five times the recommended therapeutic dose.

Incompatibilities: In the absence of compatibility studies, this veterinary medicinal product must not be mixed with other veterinary medicinal products.
