Cyclosporine ophthalmic solution is a prescription-only veterinary eye medication used to treat keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS, or "dry eye") in dogs, along with other immune-mediated eye conditions such as chronic superficial keratitis (pannus). Cyclosporine is an immunomodulator that reduces the immune attack on the tear glands, helping restore natural tear production and protect the cornea. Veterinarians often prescribe concentrations stronger than commercial veterinary ointments for dogs that need more potent therapy.
This medication is used under a veterinarian's guidance. Your vet will set the strength and dosing schedule and monitor your pet's response. Prescription required.
