SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
i)
Special precautions for use in animals
Official and local antimicrobial policies should be taken into account
when the
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.
Since enrofloxacin was first authorised for use in poultry, there has
been
widespread
reduction
in
susceptibility
of
_E. _
_coli _
to
fluoroquinolones
and
emergence of
resistant
organisms.
Resistance
has
also
been
reported
in
_Mycoplasma synoviae _in the EU.
Whenever
possible
fluoroquinolones
should
only
be
used
based
on
susceptibility testing.
Use of the product deviating from the instructions given by in the SPC
may
increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to the fluoroquinolones
and may
decrease the effectiveness of treatment with other fluoroquinolo
