How does Optimmune work?

Cyclosporine A, the active ingredient in Optimmune, acts as an immunomodulator, meaning it regulates the immune response in your dog's eye. By reducing inflammation and stimulating tear production, Optimmune helps relieve the symptoms of chronic dry keratoconjunctivitis and pannus, improving your dog's eye health and comfort.

Indications of use:

Optimmune is indicated for the treatment of chronic idiopathic keratoconjunctivitis sicca and chronic superficial keratitis (pannus) in dogs.

Administration and dosage:

• Ophthalmic route.
• Apply 1 cm of ointment to the affected eye, every 12 hours.
• The duration of treatment will depend on the severity of the condition and the response obtained. Clinical experience shows that around 90% of dogs will require lifelong therapy.
• For best results in the treatment of dry keratoconjunctivitis, cyclosporine A should be administered in the early phase of the disease, before irreversible lesions and fibrosis of the tear tissue occur.
