In cases of severe or chronic respiratory tract infections, a second injection may be
required after 48 hours. Repeated injections should be administered at different sites.
For E. coli mastitis in cattle: administer by slow intravenous injection (i.v.).
5 mg enrofloxacin/kg body weight/day (5.0 ml of the veterinary medicinal product/100
kg body weight/day) daily for 2-3 days.

excipients.
Do not use in animals with central nervous system-associated seizure disorders. Do
not use in the presence of existing disorders of cartilage development or
musculoskeletal damage around functionally significant or weight-bearing joints.
Do not use in known cases of resistance against other (fluoro)quinolones due to the
potential for cross-resistance.

Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a
veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to
either the marketing authorisation holder or its local representative or the national
competent authority via the national reporting system. See the package leaflet for
respective contact details.
None.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Official and local antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when the
veterinary medicinal 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 veterinary medicinal 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.
If there is no clinical improvement observed within 2-3 days of therapy, re-evaluation
of treatment and susceptibility testing may be necessary.
Enrofloxacin is eliminated renally. As with all fluoroquinolones, delayed excretion can
therefore be expected in the presence of existing renal damage.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
Direct contact with the skin should be avoided due to sensitisation, contact dermatitis
and possible hypersensitivity reactions.
People with known hypersensitivity to (fluoro)quinolones should avoid contact with
the veterinary medicinal product.
Wash hands after use.
In the event of accidental splash into the eye, rinse with large amounts of clean
water. If irritation occurs, seek medical advice.
Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the veterinary medicinal product.
Take care to avoid accidental self-injection.
In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the
package leaflet or label to the physician.
Special precautions for the protection of the environment:
Not applicable.
Antagonist 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.
Store in the original package. Do not freeze.
Cattle:
Meat and offal: after subcutaneous administration (s.c.): 14 days
after intravenous administration (i.v.): 7 days
Milk: after subcutaneous administration (s.c.): 120 hours
