Special precautions for use in animals
Official and local antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when the
product is used.
Do not use in case of confirmed or suspected resistance to quinolones, since a high
degree of cross resistance between enrofloxacin and other quinolones does exist.
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.
Susceptibility testing should be performed before treatment is initiated.
Use of the veterinary medicinal product deviating from instructions given in the SPC
may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to fluoroquinolones and may
decrease the effectiveness of treatment with other quinolones due to the potential for
cross resistance.
Do not use for prophylaxis.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals
People with known hypersensitivity to (fluoro)quinolones should avoid contact with
the veterinary medicinal product.
Avoid skin and eye contact.
Rinse any splashes from skin or eyes immediately with water.
Wash hands and exposed skin after use.
Do not eat, drink or smoke whilst using the veterinary medicinal product.
Concurrent administration of enrofloxacin with other antimicrobials, tetracyclines and
macrolide antibiotics may result in antagonistic effects. Absorption of enrofloxacin
may be reduced if the veterinary medicinal product is administered together with
substances containing magnesium or aluminium.
Do not combine enrofloxacin with steroidal anti-inflammatory products.
Keep the bottle tightly closed.
Discard unused material.
