Dosage Cattle Administer Advocin 2.5% Solution for Injection by the intramuscular or intravenous routes at a dosage rate of 1.25 mg danofloxacin/kg bodyweight (1 ml/20 kg bodyweight). Three treatments should be given at 24 hour intervals. Treatment may be extended up to an additional two days for animals that have not fully recovered after the initial three treatments. For treatment of cattle weighing more than 400 kg, divide the intramuscular dose so that no more than 20 ml are injected per site. Pigs Administer Advocin 2.5% Solution for Injection by intramuscular injection at a dosage rate of 1.25 mg danofloxacin/kg bodyweight (1 ml/20 kg bodyweight). Three treatments should be given at 24 hour intervals. For treatment of pigs weighing more than 100kg, divide the dose so that no more than 5ml are injected per site.
Withdrawals Seek veterinary advice regarding use of appropriately sized needles and syringes when dosing small animals. An appropriately graduated syringe must be used to allow accurate administration of the required dose volume. This is particularly important when injecting small volumes, e.g. piglets less than 2 kg body weight. When dosing a large number of animals from a single bottle, the use of an aspirating needle is recommended to avoid excessive broaching of the stopper. Official and local antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when the product is used. Fluoroquinolones should be reserved for the treatment of clinical conditions which have responded poorly, or are expected to respond poorly, to other classes of antimicrobials. Whenever possible, fluoroquinolones should only be used based on susceptibility testing. Use of the product deviating from the instructions given in the SPC may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to the fluoroquinolones and may decrease the effectiveness of treatment with other quinolones due to the potential for cross resistance. Withdrawal period Cattle: Milk: 48 hours. Meat: 5 days. Pigs: Meat: 3 days. Operator warnings Wash hands after use.
