15. OTHER INFORMATION
Medicinal advice should be sought in the event of accidental ingestion, particularly by a child.
Ibafloxacin is a broad spectrum bacterici
ibiotic from the quinolone group. Its action results from
inhibition of bacterial DNA gyrase.
After oral administration in dogs, ibafloxacin is rapidly absorbed with maximum plasma levels of microbiologically active compounds obtained at 1–2 hours after administration. Terminal plasma half-life is approximately 4- 5 hours. The main excretory route is via urine and faeces. After multiple oral administration, steady state is reached after the first or second dosing and no accumulation or induction of biotransformation enzymes occurs.
Target animal safety studies in beagle dogs of 8 months of age demonstrated that, when administered orally at 45 mg/kg/day (three times the recommended dose) for a period of 90 days, ibafloxacin produced no observable adverse effects.

5. CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not use in cats up to 8 months of age as no information is available on the influence of ibafloxac developing articular cartilage in the cat during the period of rapid growth as articular cartilage ma affected. In dogs, this period depends on the breed. For the majority of breeds, the use of ibafloxac contra-indicated in dogs less than 8 months of age, and in giant breeds less than 18 months.

Oral use, 15 mg ibafloxacin/kg once daily.
15 mg per kg bodyweight = 0.5 ml of gel per kg bodyweigh
ADMINISTRATION
To ensure a correct dosage body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing. The syringe should be adjusted to the calculated dosage by setting the ring on the appropriate place on the plunger (steps of 0.5 ml for the 15 ml syringe).
The duration of treatment depends on the nature and severity of the infection and on the response seen. In most cases, a 10 day-treatment course will be sufficient. If necessary and depending on the clinical response, treatment can be continued until the response is considered to be adequate. The treatment should be reconsidered if at 5 days no improvement in the clinical condition is observed. If in cases of deep pyoderma, sufficient improvement is not seen after a treatment course of 21 days, it is recommended that the treatment is reconsidered.
It is recommended that the gel is administered at the time of feeding.
In order to avoid any cross contamination, the same syringe should not be used for different animals. Once a syringe is opened it should only be used to continue the treatment course in the same animal.
