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.
Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Retinotoxic effects, including blindness, can occur in cats when the recommended
dose is exceeded.
It is prudent to reserve the fluoroquinolones for the treatment of clinical conditions
that have responded poorly, or are expected to respond poorly, to other classes of
antibiotics. Whenever possible, fluoroquinolones should only be used based on
susceptibility testing. Official and local antimicrobial policies should be taken into
account when the veterinary medicinal product is used. Use of the veterinary
medicinal product deviating from the 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 cross-
resistance.
Use the veterinary medicinal product with caution in cats or dogs with severe renal or
hepatic impairment.
Pyoderma is mostly secondary to an underlying disease. It is advisable to determine
the underlying cause and to treat the animal accordingly.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
People with a known hypersensitivity to (fluoro)quinolones should avoid contact with the
veterinary medicinal product.
