It is an immunosuppressant that weakens the immune system to reduce redness, irritation, or redness of the eye.

The ointment is normally applied twice each day to the eye of the dog, but your particular instructions will depend on the animal's health condition and the severity of its symptoms. Put a thin layer of ointment on the eye and close the dog's eyes to distribute it over its surface. Do not allow the tip of the applicator to contact the surface of the eye as this may not only injure the eye, but also contaminate the ointment. Ask your veterinarian any questions you have about the medication to make sure you are using it correctly.
