cyclosporine for dogs no prescription

Dry eye in dogs is treated with a drug called cyclosporine, which can only be obtained with a prescription from your vet. Please take her back to her former vet or find a new vet to prescribe this medicine for her. Her vision is in jeopardy without it.

I know that you said that your dog has been on cyclosporine in the past for the treatment of KCS, however has she ever used a product called 'Optimmune"? It's a preparation that contains cyclosporine but it's different from the cyclosporine drops. When eyedrop preparations to treat KCS are made up, they have stabilizers put in so that they don't lose their potency too quickly before the whole preparation can be used.

to them, so I took him to the vet, afraid he had a sudden case of SARDS. She said no, tested him for dry eye and gave me Cyclosporine drops. I have an appointment with an opthmologist who comes to our town once a month on April 2, but now he seems totally blind. Has anyone else dealt with this? Is there any hope for his eyesight? Surgery?? Thanks to anyone who can respond!

You can check and see if your vet has any Cyclosporine or if he can write you a script for it.It makes the eye produce more tears.I use it for my peke and he has been on it for years .It is really a good med.and since your baby is use to getting meds in her eyes i am sure she will be fine with it.You can also have it compounded into drops if drops are better then the ointment.I use the compounded drops it seems to last longer than the other.I put 2 drops in twice a day.

How iron clad is the expiration date for cyclosporine eye drops for dogs?

We took her back to the vet, and still, after being on cyclosporine and antibiotics, no tear production, and there is still discharge. The vet seemed pretty worried (which only made me more nervous). She is referring us to an eye specialist, so hopefully we can get in soon!

I had read several other places on the net that these drugs were prescribed for dogs with separation anxiety by their vets. Just goes to show you that you cannot believe everything you read on the web. She is doing fine by the way.

I contacted pharmacies and the drug company themselves, and there is no date know for when it will be available again. Is anyone else experiencing this? Have any tips, I'm pretty new to this. Or is anyone taking a different medication and getting good results? (Steroids did not work on this, I was on entocort for a long time for eosiniphillic esophagitis). Thank you very much!

First of all, you want to stay away from products like Artificial Tears and other over-the-counter eye lubricants, because these products contain a form of soap as a stabilizer, and while they are fine for occasional use in normal eyes that just happen to be in a temporarily drying condition, for the lifelong treatment that will be needed for dry eye, the soap stabilizer will be too irritating. There are special preparations that contain cyclosporine that are used to treat KCS.

i've had dogs on hills RX for a medical problem...thats what its for..if ur other dog doesn't have a problem and is doing well on his regular food i wouldn't change his diet...unecessary change to his digestive sytem thats not medically warranted.i didn't switch my healthy dog to it...have that situation right now!

Hello. Thank you for your question. Luckily, there are many drugs that lower blood pressure. However, depending on your medical history, one antihypertensive (blood pressure medication) may work better for you than others. You need to call your physician and ask what the best alternative is for you. However, if pills are getting stuck in your throat it may represent a bigger problem with your esophagus.

Yes I took Cyclosporine for my aquagenic urticaria, it helped so much but not enough to have a normal life :S but maybe for you its going to be different...

Could taking less ursodiol have contributed to my diminishing symptoms. What would be the lest acceptable through cyclosporine level for a patient on mono -therapy four and one half years post transplant with no episodes of rejection? Thank you so very much Dr.

As a result he daily takes 75mg Deramaxx, 2 Glucosamine tablets, 50mg Tramadol, and 100mg Atopica (cyclosporine) with 200mg ketoconazole for an anal fistula problem. He had a yearly checkup 3 weeks ago. Bloodtest, wellness testing, vaccines, nails trimmed. They trimmed one nail too short, it bled alot, but they put a clotting agent on it. All blood levels were fine.

Having worked for a vet dermatologist for years I can tell you that first off dogs cannot get poison ivy they are not affected by the oils but can transmit them to humans. Whenever I hear someone say hives or rash in a dog I chuckle because dogs don't get that either what you ARE seeing is bacterial infection of the skin which means you pup needs to see a vet asap and get some antibiotics to systemically clear things up. Finding the underlying cause is another issue to discuss.

Close to five years post liver transplant. No rejections, cyclosporine mono -therapy .Also take 300 mg ursodiol 3x daily for bile duct stricture. Vascular hyper-tensions are becoming a real concern. ie heart, palpitations . fluid in ears , vision problems that aren't related to my actual eyes, the opthamologist confirmed, Migraines that have actually gotten better lately. kidney function is still adequate. My liver is doing very good especially with hep-c..

html I am very sorry to read your dear kitty has this disease, it sounds like it going to be a tough road to control the symptoms and give him some relief...the write up I did find for information is for dogs, but obviously cats can also have.I will include it and hope it helps, the very best of luck to you and your dear kitty, please post again if we can offer any help...♥ http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_pemphigus_foliaceus.

Hi ! Wow... I had no idea that cyclosporine has been prescribed for various autoimmune diseases and even allergies ! I think it is a shame that many of these wonderful drugs (steriods... Valcyte.... cyclosporine) are immunosuppressants and can have terrible side effects. I'm happy to hear that researchers are working hard to find cures for these conditions and that they are concerned about the rising numbers of people who have these autoimmune problems.

It is entirely possible, however, for humans to develop the high grade cancer and for dogs to develop the low grade cancer. I wouldn't be ready to give up or give in until any tests that would determine which type your dog has have been done. Please keep us up to date on how he is doing.

I have heard many different things about glucosamine for dogs . That is is okay for your dogs, and also that it isn't. There can be many benefits to providing supplements for your dog. It can help them remain healthy and with that even happier. No one likes to deal with a grumpy dog. Can you tell me where I could find more information about glucosamine for dogs though?

But, I am searching (in vain and getting very frustrated and at the end of my rope) for info/links to natural desiccated thyroid without a prescription. I do not have insurance nor do I have the $$ to cash pay one, and all the tests and the medication fee. My mother had a long history with hypothyroid, was on meds and actually died from going off meds (which in okd age and without insurance she couldn't afford). Long story short, I am my mothers daughter and following in her footsteps.

I'm on Cyclosporine following my liver transplant a year ago. What did you want to know about it?

My doctor has recommended that I start tanning. He even gave me a prescription to tan. Is there anything else that can be done to help them from coming back? They itch all the time!

There is a food that you can buy at your vet's, it's a prescription food but in your situation you should have no trouble buying it, called A/D. It's part of the Hill's group of prescription foods. It is very easy to digest and it has a very soft, pudding-y consistency. Ask your vet for a syringe that is used to do a transtracheal wash. This is a very large syringe. You can load the syringe with the A/D and force feed it to her.
