Rabbits:For the topical treatment of conjunctivitis associated with staphylococcal
infections.
One drop of the veterinary medicinal product should be instilled into the eye once or
twice daily. Treatment should be continued for at least 24 hours after the eye has
returned to normal.
If a clinical response is not evident after 5 days following the commencement of
administration, the diagnosis should be re-established.
If the animal has one infected eye, it may be advisable to treat both eyes to prevent
cross infection. In such cases, it is better to treat the uninfected eye first to avoid
transferring infection via the tube nozzle.
Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the
excipients.

and treated if possible.
In rabbits, conjunctivitis may be associated with dacryocystitis and/or dental disease.
In such cases, appropriate additional treatment should be instituted.
Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Use of the veterinary medicinal product should be based on identification and
susceptibility testing of the target pathogen(s). If this is not possible, therapy should
be based on epidemiological information and knowledge of susceptibility of the target
pathogens at farm level, or at local/regional level.
Use of the veterinary medicinal product should be in accordance with official, national
and regional antimicrobial policies. Using the veterinary medicinal product other than
as indicated in the SPC may increase the number of bacteria resistant to fusidic acid.
When the tube is squeezed, the veterinary medicinal product comes out as a thick
(viscous) drop. The drop quickly becomes liquid on contact with tear fluid and does
not affect the sight.
Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the contents during use and to avoid
the nozzle coming into direct contact with the eye. Avoid fingers touching the tube
nozzle.
Do not use the same tube to treat different animals.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal
product to animals:
Wash hands after applying the veterinary medicinal product.
Special precautions for the protection of the environment:
