Optimmune Eye Ointment for Dogs

Optimmune Eye Ointment is a veterinary medication specifically designed to treat chronic eye conditions in dogs, particularly dry eye, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), and chronic conjunctivitis. These conditions can cause severe discomfort and, if left untreated, may lead to more serious complications, including damage to the eye's surface and even vision loss. Optimmune offers a reliable and effective treatment, helping to manage the symptoms and improve your dog's quality of life.

How Optimmune Works

Optimmune contains cyclosporine, an immunosuppressive agent. Cyclosporine works by reducing the inflammatory response in the eyes, which is often triggered by the immune system attacking the tear-producing glands. This action helps to stimulate tear production, alleviating the dryness and irritation associated with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) and chronic conjunctivitis. By enhancing tear production and controlling inflammation, Optimmune prevents further damage to the eyes and maintains the health of the cornea and surrounding tissues.

The ointment is typically applied directly to the affected eye or eyes once or twice a day, as prescribed by your vet. The medication works at a cellular level, suppressing the activity of T-lymphocytes, a type of immune cell involved in the inflammatory process. By modulating the immune response, Optimmune not only soothes the symptoms of dry eye and conjunctivitis but also addresses the underlying cause of these conditions, providing long-term relief.

Onsior 40mg for Dogs is a prescription-only non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation in dogs. It contains the active substance robenacoxib, which is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. This medicine is commonly prescribed by vets to manage pain associated with osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal disorders in dogs.

Each tablet contains 40mg of robenacoxib and is designed for once-daily oral administration. Onsior tablets are flavoured to aid with administration and are scored to allow accurate dosing based on the dog’s weight. They are authorised for veterinary use in the UK and have been shown to be effective for the management of chronic and acute pain.

How 40mg Onsior Works

Onsior 40mg contains robenacoxib, a member of the coxib class of NSAIDs. It works by selectively inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which plays a key role in producing prostaglandins responsible for pain and inflammation. By blocking COX-2, robenacoxib reduces the production of these chemicals at the site of injury or inflammation.

Unlike traditional NSAIDs, Onsior has minimal effect on COX-1, the enzyme involved in maintaining normal functions of the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and blood clotting. This selectivity helps reduce the risk of gastrointestinal and renal side effects often associated with NSAID use in dogs.

Onsior begins to act rapidly, with effects typically observed within one to two hours of administration. The drug accumulates preferentially at sites of inflammation, allowing for targeted relief of pain while limiting exposure to unaffected tissues.
