Details

Benefits:

Indicated for infections and inflammation of the eye.
Antibiotic combination of neomycin and polymixin B
Contains the corticosteroid, dexamethasone to also treat inflammation

Possible Side Effects:

Side effects are unusual. The medication may cause the eye to sting for a short time when first applied. If ingested, the corticosteroid dexamethasone may cause an increase in the amount of drinking and urinating. Less commonly, you may see an increased appetite, weight gain, panting, diarrhea, vomiting, or behavior changes.

Some cats may have a fatal allergic (anaphylactic) reaction to the antibiotic combination of these drugs. It is not known which of the components causes this fatal reaction. If your cat has swelling of the face, itching, or appears to have difficulty breathing, you should contact your veterinarian immediately.

Prolonged use of this medication could result in a more serious bacterial or fungal infection.

Stoage:

Store in a tight, light-resistant, childproof container at room temperature. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Precautions:

Prevent ingestion. If ingested at high doses or for extended periods, corticosteroids can cause premature birth or birth defects.

Consult your veterinarian before using corticosteroid ophthalmic preparations with any other medications since interactions may occur

Instructions

Neo-Poly-Dex Ophthalmic is applied topically to the eye.

It is important to follow your Veterinarian's prescription instructions for your pet.

It is important to always wash your hands before and after you give this medication to your pet.

Assess your pet's eye to determine if there is discharge present, if there is then the area should be cleansed with a sterile eyewash solution prior to applying the ointment or solution.

Is the prescription for one eye or two?

If the prescription is for both eyes it is important that you do not touch the tip of the applicator or your fingers in one eye and then touch the other eye. If you do so, it will increase the chances that you could spread infection from eye to eye.

If you are applying more than one medication to the eye, allow five minutes between applications so one medication is not removed by the next medication.

Place one hand under and around your pet's chin and lift upward, so the pet's eyes are looking towards the ceiling. Rest your other hand, holding the dropper bottle, on top of the pet's head. Squeeze the drops into the corner of the eye, taking care not to touch the dropper to the eye surface.

Continue to hold the head back for a moment while the drops disperse over the whole eye surface.
