Optimmune Opthalmic Ointment:  Dosage and administration
 
 
Optimmune Opthalmic Ointment
Dosage and administration
For topical administration to the conjunctival sac.
Apply a small amount of ointment (approximately 1/4 inch or 1/2 cm) into the affected eye(s) every 12 hours.
Any excessive discharge in the eye should be removed prior to application of the ointment by gently cleansing or flushing the eye with a suitable non-irritating solution.
Duration of treatment
Clinical experience suggests that 90% of dogs affected with KCS will require life-long therapy. However, if therapy is maintained the prognosis is good providing that regular clinical assessment is carried out.
Current experience suggests that, in the treatment of `pannus', the frequency of application of Optimmune may be suspended or reduced during certain periods of the year when levels of ultraviolet light, which exacerbates this condition, are reduced.
