Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or any excipients.
Special precautions for use in target species:
Official and local antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when using the product.
Fluoroquinolones should be reserved for clinical conditions that have responded poorly, or are expected to respond poorly, to other antibiotic classes.
An antibiotic with lower risk of promoting antimicrobial resistance (lower AMEG category) should be used for first-line treatment when susceptibility testing suggests effectiveness.
Use of fluoroquinolones should be based, whenever possible, on pathogen identification and susceptibility testing.
If not possible, treatment should rely on epidemiological information and local/regional knowledge of pathogen susceptibility.
Deviation from the product characteristics summary (SPC) can 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 veterinary medicinal product:
People with known hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones should avoid contact with the product.
Wash hands after use.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
If accidentally ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the label or leaflet.
Do not use during pregnancy or lactation.
The bioavailability of marbofloxacin may be reduced if administered with cations such as aluminium, calcium, iron, and magnesium.
If co-administered with theophylline, reduce the theophylline dose.
Very high doses (>2000 mg/kg body weight) may cause acute neurological symptoms.
Symptomatic treatment is required.
