Brand: Optimmune
Price: £23.50
Optimmune is used for the treatment of dry eye in dogs which is a failure of tear production which keeps the surface of the eye moist and lubricated. This is caused by a failure of the immune system around the eyes.
For the treatment of chronic, recurring conjunctivitis resulting from autoimmune disease of the eye. Indicated for the treatment of Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS, ‘dry eye’) and chronic superficial keratitis (‘pannus’) in the dog.
It may be used to augment topical corticosteroids or as a substitute for corticosteroids when these are contraindicated because of corneal ulceration.
Clinical experience has shown than 90% of dogs affected with dry eye will require life-long therapy. However, if therapy is maintained, the outlook is good providing that regular clinical assessment is made by your Vet.
Similarly, chronic superficial keratitis (KCS) may require continuous treatment although, as the condition is aggrevated by sun light, treatment may be suspended or reduced at certain times of the year. In the treatment of KCS, it is important that continuous treatment is maintained. Studies have shown that stimulation of tear production ceases within 24 hours of withdrawing treatment. Increase in tear production is expected within 10 days but may not be maximal until 6 weeks from commencement of treatment.
Do not use where fungal or viral infection of the eye is suspected.
Optimmune Ophthalmic Ointment 3.5g tube contains 0.2% w/w cyclosporin Ph. Eur.
