Opticare

Opticare Ointment (Cyclosporin) contains cyclosporine and is used to treat certain canine eye conditions. Cyclosporine is a polypeptide agent and is effective at treating either eye infections or cases of chronic dry eye. It works by stimulating the tear glands resulting in increased tear production. Treating these conditions reduces the risk of eye tissue scarring.

Strictly use Opticare Ointment (Cyclosporin) as advised by your vet or any printed instructions supplied within the packaging. Always finish the entire prescription you receive as conditions can often persist without symptom and then relapse. Apply the drops directly to the eye(s) which require treatment. Vets will usually recommended 2 or 3 doses per day, but this can vary depending on the condition being treated and its severity. Results can usually be seen after 8 weeks of use. Always wash your hands before and after administering the medication to avoid contamination.

Opticare Ointment (Cyclosporin) is very well tolerated and when used properly there are no side effects which have been associated with the eye drop. If you do notice any unusual or worrying behavior, consult your vet promptly.

Before you administer this medication be sure to have disclosed to your vet any allergies or other medical conditions (especially eye related) your dog has or has had.
