Usage
Diclofenac Sodium Ophthalmic Solution should be applied as directed by your veterinarian. Please consult your veterinarian before making any changes to the prescribed dosing schedule.
For general ophthalmic use:
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after application.
Pull your pet’s lower eyelid down gently, then apply the prescribed number of drops into the pocket between the eyelid and the eyeball.
Do NOT allow the tip of the dropper to touch any surface, including your hands or your pet’s face and eyes, as this will contaminate the sterile surface.
If using multiple eye medications or products, separate dosing by at least 5 minutes. Eye drops should be used before eye ointments to allow for proper absorption.
Missed doses
Administer the dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do not apply two doses at once.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (68 to 77°F). Keep tightly closed when not in use and out of the reach of children and pets. Store away from heat and direct sunlight. Do not store in the bathroom, near the kitchen sink, or in damp places. The medicine may break down if exposed to heat or moisture.
Side effects
The most common side effects of this medication are mild burning, stinging, irritation, or redness of the eye upon application. These effects are usually temporary and should resolve quickly.
Other side effects may include (but are not limited to) blurred vision, eye dryness, and increased risk of delayed wound healing or bleeding.
Although systemic side effects are considered unlikely with ophthalmic medications, gastrointestinal or renal side effects are potentially possible (particularly with prolonged use).
Contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice your pet exhibits sensitivity to bright lights, has bleeding in the eye, severe/worsening inflammation of the affected eye(s), or if any signs of an allergic reaction appear (e.g., difficulty breathing, throat swelling, rash).
Notify your veterinarian if your pet experiences any of the effects described above, or if you notice any other side effects that are persistent or troublesome.
If you notice anything unusual, please consult your veterinarian.
Precautions
Do NOT use this medication if the solution changes color, appears cloudy, or contains visible particles. These may be signs that the product is contaminated and no longer fit for use.
Do NOT touch the tip of the tube with your hands or allow the tip to touch any surface, including your pet’s eyes. Contact with any surface may contaminate the product.
Use with caution in animals that have a predisposition to excessive bleeding (or that are taking an anticoagulant), active (or a history of) GI ulcers, dry eye syndrome, or asthma. Caution should also be exercised if your pet has a current eye injury, as this medication may delay or impair wound healing.
Safe use of this medication has not been established in breeding, pregnant, or lactating animals. Discuss the risks of using this medication with your veterinarian if your pet is in one of these groups.
Do not administer to animals with a known history or suspected allergy/hypersensitivity to any NSAID drug, including this medication or any of its ingredients. Allergic reactions to medications may occur. Be sure to inform Vetsource and your veterinarian if your pet has any known drug sensitivities or allergies.
If your pet displays symptoms of an allergic reaction, discontinue therapy and call your veterinarian immediately or seek emergency veterinary attention. Symptoms may include (but are not limited to): swollen lips, tongue, face, or airways, difficulty breathing, agitation, profuse salivation, and widespread hives or itching.
Drug and food interactions
Ophthalmic medications are applied topically to the eyes and are not absorbed into the body in the same manner as oral or injectable medications. Because of this, there is limited drug interaction information for these medications; however, interactions may still be possible.
The following drugs* may have potential interactions with this medication: anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents (aspirin, clopidogrel, warfarin, etc.), corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone, prednisone), and concurrent NSAIDs.
*NOTE: this may not be a comprehensive list. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together.
Please ensure your veterinarian is aware of all medications and supplements that your pet is currently receiving. Your veterinarian may prescribe multiple medications, even if a potential drug interaction may occur. In these instances, your veterinarian may adjust the dosages or monitor your pet more closely.
Adverse reactions
If you are concerned that your pet has experienced an adverse reaction to this medication, please contact Vetsource Pet Owner Care at 877-738-4443.
Overdose
