Special precautions for safe use in target species:

When using the product, official and local antimicrobial policies should be considered.

Fluoroquinolones should be reserved for clinical conditions that have responded poorly, or are expected to respond poorly, to other antibiotic classes.

An antibiotic with a lower risk of antimicrobial resistance selection (lower AMEG category) should be used as first-line treatment if susceptibility testing indicates likely efficacy.

Use of fluoroquinolones should be based, whenever possible, on identification and susceptibility testing of the target pathogen(s).

If this is not possible, treatment should rely on epidemiological data and local or regional knowledge of pathogen susceptibility.

Use of a product outside the instructions in the summary of product characteristics (SPC) may increase the prevalence of fluoroquinolone-resistant bacteria and reduce the effectiveness of other quinolones due to potential cross-resistance.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR THE PERSON ADMINISTERING THE PRODUCT

People with known hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product.

Wash hands after use.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water.

If accidentally ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or label.

PREGNANCY AND LACTATION

Do not use during pregnancy or lactation.

INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER MEDICINAL PRODUCTS

The bioavailability of marbofloxacin may be reduced when administered with cations such as aluminium, calcium, iron, or magnesium.

When co-administered with theophylline, reduce the dose of theophylline.

OVERDOSE

Very high doses (>2000 mg/kg body weight) may cause acute neurological symptoms.

Symptomatic treatment is required in such cases.
