Moxifloxacin & Dexamethasone Dog Eye Drops 10 ml

Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Ointment 2 mg/g is a prescription veterinary eye medication used for the long-term management of dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca – KCS) and other immune-mediated inflammatory eye conditions in dogs.  It works by reducing immune-driven inflammation and stimulating natural tear production.

What This Medication Is Used For

• Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (Dry Eye)
• Immune-mediated tear gland dysfunction
• Chronic inflammatory eye conditions
• Superficial keratitis (pannus)
• Chronic conjunctivitis of immune origin
• Long-term tear production maintenance

This is a prescription medicine. Use only under veterinary supervision.

How Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Ointment Works

Cyclosporine is an immunomodulatory agent. When applied topically to the eye, it:

• Suppresses immune-mediated damage to tear glands
• Restores and maintains natural tear production
• Reduces corneal and conjunctival inflammation
• Limits progression of pigmentation and scarring

It is non-steroidal and suitable for long-term use.

Key Benefits

• Treats the underlying cause of immune-mediated dry eye
• Improves tear production over time
• Reduces redness, discharge, and irritation
• Helps prevent corneal scarring and vision loss
• Suitable for lifelong management when prescribed
