SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE IN ANIMALS
Heavy reliance on a single class of antibiotics may result in the
induction of resistance in a bacterial
population. It is prudent to reserve the fluoroquinolones for the
treatment of clinical conditions that
have responded poorly, or are expected to respond poorly, to other
classes of antibiotics.
Official and local antimicrobial policies should be taken into account
when the product is used
.
Whenever possible, fluoroquinolones should only be used based on
susceptibility testing.

3
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 of cross resistance
