4.5 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
i. Special precautions for use in animals
The product should be reserved for the treatment of clinical
conditions which have
responded poorly or are expected to respond poorly to other classes of
antimicrobials or narrow spectrum β-lactam antimicrobials. Use of the
product
should be based on susceptibility testing of the bacteria isolated
from the animal. If it
is not possible, therapy should be based on local (regional, farm
level)
epidemiological information about susceptibility of the target
bacteria.
Official, national and regional antimicrobial policies should be taken
into account
when the product is used.
Use of the product deviating from the instructions given in the SPC
may increase the
prevalence of bacteria resistant to cefquinome and may decrease the
effectiveness of
treatment with cephalosporins due to the potential for
cross-resistance.
