Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Do not use in animals with known hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones or to any of the excipients. To limit development of resistance, do not use fluoroquinolones as prophylaxis or metaphylaxis to prevent diarrhoea at weaning.
Special warnings
Do not use in cases where the pathogen involved is resistant to other fluoroquinolones (cross resistance).
Special precautions for use in animals
Official and local antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when this product is used. 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, use of the product should only be based on susceptibility testing. Use of the product deviating from the instructions given in the SPC may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to the fluoroquinolones and may decrease the effectiveness of treatment with other quinolones due to the potential for cross resistance.
