Indications
In cattle:
- Therapeutic treatment of respiratory infections caused by sensitive strains of Pasteurella multocida and Mannheimia haemolytica.
In lactating cows:
- Treatment of acute mastitis caused by sensitive strains of Escherichia coli.
Dose to be administered and administration route
To ensure a correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing.
Where there is slight cloudiness or visible particles present, such cloudiness or particles disappear when the bottle is shaken before use.
- Therapeutic treatment of respiratory infections
10 mg/kg body weight i.e. 10 ml /160 kg body weight in a single intramuscular injection.
- Treatment of acute mastitis caused by sensitive strains of Escherichia coli
10 mg/kg body weight i.e. 10 ml/160 kg body weight in a single intramuscular or intravenous injection.
If the volume to be injected intramuscularly is more than 20 ml, it should be divided between two or more injection sites.
Adverse reactions
In very rare cases, administration by the intramuscular route may cause rare transient local reactions such as pain and swelling at the injection site which may persist up to 7 days after injection.
Fluoroquinolones are known to induce arthropathies. In cattle, such lesions were observed after a three days treatment with the 16% marbofloxacin solution. These lesions did not induce clinical signs and should be reversible, particularly if they were to be observed after a single administration.
In very rare cases, anaphylactic-type reactions with a potentially fatal outcome might occur.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals displaying adverse reaction(s) 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).
