How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Cyclosporine 2%/Dexamethasone 0.1% Suspension (Vet) is a compounded formulation designed for veterinary use, specifically for the treatment of various eye conditions in animals. This formulation combines the therapeutic benefits of two active ingredients, cyclosporine and dexamethasone, both of which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties.

Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressant that works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system. This action helps to alleviate symptoms associated with eye conditions that are caused by an overactive immune response. On the other hand, dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling, providing relief from discomfort and improving the overall condition of the eye.

Together, these two ingredients create a potent formulation that can effectively manage symptoms associated with eye conditions such as uveitis, keratitis, and dry eye. It is important to note, however, that while this suspension can help manage symptoms, it is not a cure for these conditions.

When administering Cyclosporine 2%/Dexamethasone 0.1% Suspension (Vet), it is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your veterinarian. The suspension should be applied directly to the affected eye(s) as directed. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth during application. If any of the suspension gets into the eyes, it should be rinsed out with plenty of water, and medical attention should be sought if necessary.

Regular follow-ups with your veterinarian are essential to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and to check for any potential side effects. If you have any questions or concerns about Cyclosporine 2%/Dexamethasone 0.1% Suspension (Vet) or any other medication, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.
