WARNINGS/ADVICE ON CORRECT ADMINISTRATION

The dose applied to a single point will not exceed 10 mL in calves, 6 mL in sheep and goats and 3 mL in pigs. Enrofloxacin is given at the usual place of administration, for example, in pigs in the musculature of the posterior area of ​​the ear. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Normal precautions should be taken to administer the treatment under sterile conditions. To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid overdosing.

SHELF LIFE      

Shelf life of the veterinary medicinal product as packaged for sale: 2 years. Shelf-life after first opening the immediate packaging: 28 days.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE

Keep out of the reach of children. Do not store above 25°C. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Store in the original package. Store in a dry place. Keep away from direct light.

SPECIAL WARNING(S)

None.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE IN ANIMALS

When using the product, official and local regulations regarding antimicrobial substances shall be observed. Fluoroquinolones will be used as back-up for treatments that respond or will respond poorly to other classes of antimicrobial substances under clinical conditions. When possible, fluoroquinolones should only be used based on susceptibility tests. The use of the product violating the SmPC instructions may increase the resistance of bacteria to fluoroquinolones and may induce a decrease in the efficacy of other quinolones due to their potential cross-resistance. Degenerative changes of the joint cartilage have been observed in calves treated with oral 30 mg enrofloxacin/kg body weight for 14 days. The use of enrofloxacin in lambs at the recommended dose for 15 days caused histological changes of joint cartilage, which are not associated with clinical signs.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY THE PERSON ADMINISTERING THE PRODUCT:

This product is an alkaline solution. In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. 

Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the product. 

Prevent accidental self-injection. If these accidents occur, see your doctor as a matter of urgency. 

Avoid direct skin contact due to sensitivity, contact dermatitis and possible allergic reactions. Wear protective gloves. 

USE DURING PREGNANCY AND LACTATION 

Enrofloxacin can be used during gestation and lactation. 

INTERACTION WITH OTHER MEDICINAL PRODUCTS AND OTHER FORMS OF INTERACTION

Caution is advised during concomitant use of flunixin and enrofloxacin in dogs in order to avoid adverse reactions. The decrease in the clearance of these substances following concomitant administration of flunixin and enrofloxacin indicates that these substances interact during the elimination phase. Thus, in dogs, concomitant administration of enrofloxacin and flunixin increased the AUC and the plasma half-life of flunixin, also increasing the half-life and reducing Cmax for enrofloxacin.

Do not combine with other antibiotics like tetracyclines, macrolides or chloramphenicol as they may produce an antagonistic effect.

OVERDOSE (SYMPTOMS, EMERGENCY PROCEDURES, ANTIDOTES)

Do not exceed the recommended dose. 

There is no antidote in case of accidental overdose, and therapy is symptomatic. 

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None known.
