Quinoflox 100 mg/ml Solution for Use in Drinking Water for Chickens and Rabbits

Treatment of Mycoplasma spp. infections may not eradicate the microorganism.

Special precautions for safe use in the target species:
Do not use for prophylaxis.
Since enrofloxacin was first authorised for use in poultry, there has been widespread
reduction in susceptibility of to fluoroquinolones and emergence of resistant
organisms. Resistance has also been reported in Mycoplasma synoviae in the EU.
Official and local antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when the
product is used.
Where clinical experience, supported where possible by sensitivity testing of the
causal organism, indicates enrofloxacin as the drug of choice.
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.
Wherever possible, fluoroquinolones should be used based on susceptibility testing.
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.
After the end of treatment, the watering system should be cleaned appropriately to
prevent the intake of remaining subtherapeutic doses of the drug, which may lead to
resistance.
Before use, header tanks should be emptied, thoroughly cleaned and then filled with
a known volume of clean water before adding the required amount of veterinary
medicinal product. The resulting mixture should be stirred.
Before use, header tanks should be inspected at regular intervals for presence of
dust, algae formation and sedimentation.
If there is no clinical improvement within two to three days susceptibility testing
should be repeated and therapy should be changed, if appropriate.
