Dose to be administered and administration route

Intravenous, subcutaneous or intramuscular use. Repeated injections should be made at different injection sites. To ensure a correct dosage, body weight (bw) should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing.

Cattle

5 mg of enrofloxacin/kg bw, corresponding to 1 ml/20 kg bw, once daily for 3–5 days.

Acute mycoplasma-associated arthritis due to enrofloxacin susceptible strains of Mycoplasma bovis in cattle less than 2 years old: 5 mg of enrofloxacin/kg bw, corresponding to 1 ml/20 kg bw, once daily for 5 days.

The product can be administered by slow intravenous or subcutaneous administration.

Acute mastitis caused by Escherichia coli: 5 mg enrofloxacin/kg bw, corresponding to 1 ml/20 kg bw, by slow intravenous injection once daily for two consecutive days. The second dose may be administered by the subcutaneous route. In this case, the withdrawal period following subcutaneous injection applies.

Not more than 10 ml should be administered at one subcutaneous injection site.

Sheep and goats

5 mg of enrofloxacin/kg bw, corresponding to 1 ml/20 kg bw, once daily by subcutaneous injection for 3 days. Not more than 6 ml should be administered at one subcutaneous injection site.

Pigs

2.5 mg of enrofloxacin/kg bw, corresponding to 0.5 ml/20 kg bw, once daily by intramuscular injection for 3 days.

Alimentary tract infection, or septicaemia caused by Escherichia coli: 5 mg of enrofloxacin/kg bw, corresponding to 1 ml/20 kg bw, once daily by intramuscular injection for 3 days. In pigs, the injection should be made in the neck at the ear base. Not more than 3 ml should be administered at one intramuscular injection site.

Adverse reactions

Digestive tract disorders (e.g. diarrhoea) may occur in very rare cases. These signs are generally mild and transient. In very rare cases intravenous treatment of cattle can cause shock reactions, presumably as a result of circulatory impairment. In very rare cases, neurological signs (seizures, tremors, ataxia, excitation) and anaphylactic reactions can also occur.

Local reactions at injection site

In pigs, after intramuscular administration of the product, inflammatory reactions may occur. They may persist up to 28 days after the injection.

The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:

- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals displaying adverse reactions during the course of one treatment)

- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals)

- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals)

- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals)

- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals, including isolated reports).
