RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER ADMINISTRATION:
During the treatment of the animals, only the medicated drinking water should be administered. If this is not possible, the daily dose should be divided into two equal doses, given at 12-hour intervals, one in the morning and one in the evening. When water consumption increases due to the high temperature in the shelter, the concentration of the product in the drinking water should be reduced by 25% or adjusted to the daily consumption and dose per kg bw.
If the veterinary medicinal product is mixed with the drinking water and its final concentration is higher than 1 g of florfenicol per 1 liter of drinking water, the active substance may precipitate.
In order to ensure proper dosing, the body weight of the animals should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing.
