Efex 40 mg Chewable Tablets for Dogs

A low urinary pH could have an inhibitory effect on the activity of marbofloxacin.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
The chewable tablets are flavoured. In order to avoid any accidental ingestion, store
tablets out of reach of the animals.
The fluoroquinolones have been shown to induce erosion of articular cartilage in
juvenile dogs and care should be taken to dose accurately especially in young
animals.
The fluoroquinolones are also known for their potential neurological side effects.
Cautious use is recommended in dogs and cats diagnosed as suffering from
epilepsy.
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, use of fluoroquinolones should be 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 effectiveness of treatment with other quinolones due to the potential
for cross-resistance.
Official and local antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when the product
is used.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals
People with known hypersensitivity to (fluoro)quinolones or other components of the
formulation should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product. In case of
accidental ingestion seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet
or the label to the physician. Wash hands after use.
