SPECIAL WARNING(S):
Due to the variability (temporal, geographical) in the susceptibility of bacteria when using the product, it is recommended to collect bacteriological samples and perform susceptibility tests for microorganisms isolated from diseased animals. If this is not possible, treatment should be based on local epidemiological information (region, farm) regarding the susceptibility of the target bacteria. Use of the product outside the instructions in the SPC may increase the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and may lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the treatment due to the potential for cross-resistance. Official and local policies on antimicrobial products should be taken into account when using the product. Avoid contact with the eyes. In case of accidental contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Avoid concomitant administration with solutions containing: amphotericin B, ampicillin, benzylpenicillin, carbenicillin, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, sodium hemisuccinate, heparin.
The simultaneous use of other ototoxic and/or nephrotoxic substances potentiates the ototoxicity and/or nephrotoxicity of gentamicin.
Overdose may cause irreversible cochlear and vestibular damage, temporary worsening of renal dysfunction and neuromuscular block.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR THE DISPOSAL OF UNUSED PRODUCTS OR WASTE MATERIALS, IF ANY:
Medicines should not be disposed of via wastewater or household waste. Ask your veterinarian how to dispose of medicines no longer required. These measures will help protect the environment.
