The recommended dose is 5 mg/kg bodyweight of pradofloxacin once daily. Due to the graduation of the syringe the resulting dose range is 5 to 7.5 mg/kg bodyweight according to the following table:

Bodyweight of Cat (kg)	Dose of Oral suspension to be given (ml)	Pradofloxacin dose (mg/kg bw)
> 0.67 - 1	0.2	5 – 7.5
1 – 1.5	0.3	5 – 7.5

2 – 2.5	0.5	5 – 6.3
2.5 – 3	0.6	5 – 6
3 – 3.5	0.7	5 – 5.8

7 – 8	1.6	5 – 5.7
8 – 9	1.8	5 – 5.6
9 – 10	2	5 – 5.6

To ensure a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid under dosing.

To facilitate accurate dosing, the 15 ml bottle of Veraflox oral suspension is supplied together with a 3 ml oral dosing syringe (graduation: 0.1 to 2 ml).

Duration of treatment

The duration of the treatment depends on the nature and severity of the infection and on the response to treatment. For most infections the following treatment courses will be sufficient:

Indication	Duration of treatment (days)
Wound infections and abscesses	7
Acute infections of the upper respiratory tract	5

The treatment should be reconsidered if no improvement of the clinical condition is observed within 3 days after starting the treatment.

Method of administration


Shake well before use.	Draw out the equivalent dosage into the syringe.	Administer directly into the mouth.

In order to avoid cross-contamination, the same syringe should not be used for different animals. Thus, one syringe should only be used for one animal. After administration, the syringe should be cleaned with tap water and stored in the carton box together with the veterinary medicinal product.
