FAQs - Diclofenac Sodium Ophthalmic Solution 0.1%  for Pets

What is Diclofenac Sodium Ophthalmic Solution 0.1% used for?

Diclofenac Sodium Ophthalmic Solution 0.1% is used to manage and reduce inflammation in the eyes caused by conditions like uveitis, eye surgery, or trauma. It helps alleviate pain, swelling, and redness while promoting faster recovery. This medication is also effective in treating chronic eye conditions in pets, such as lens-induced uveitis and post-operative inflammation.

How does Diclofenac Sodium work in pets' eyes?

Diclofenac Sodium works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which play a key role in prostaglandin production. Prostaglandins are responsible for causing inflammation, pain, and swelling. By blocking their production, the solution effectively reduces discomfort and inflammation in the eyes.

Can Diclofenac Sodium Ophthalmic Solution prevent post-surgical complications?

Yes, this solution is often prescribed before and after eye surgery to prevent and manage inflammation. It reduces swelling, promotes healing, and minimizes the risk of post-surgical complications like excessive scarring or discomfort.

Is Diclofenac Sodium safe for diabetic pets with eye issues?

Yes, Diclofenac Sodium is commonly used for diabetic pets experiencing eye inflammation, such as chronic uveitis. It is a safer alternative to steroids for long-term management, but veterinary supervision is essential to monitor for any potential side effects.

How should I store Diclofenac Sodium Ophthalmic Solution?

Store the solution at room temperature, away from direct light and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Do not freeze the product, and always check the expiration date before use to ensure its effectiveness.

Can Diclofenac Sodium be used alongside other eye treatments?

Yes, Diclofenac can be used with other eye medications, such as antibiotics or artificial tears, under veterinary guidance. Ensure proper intervals between applications to prevent dilution or interference with the medication's effectiveness.

What are the signs my pet may need Diclofenac Sodium?

Signs include excessive tearing, squinting, redness, swelling, or signs of discomfort in the eyes. If your pet recently underwent eye surgery or shows symptoms of chronic uveitis, consult a veterinarian for evaluation.

Is Diclofenac Sodium Ophthalmic Solution suitable for all pets?

Diclofenac Sodium may not be suitable for pets with known NSAID allergies or pre-existing conditions like corneal ulcers. A vet’s evaluation is necessary to determine its suitability based on your pet’s health history.

How long does Diclofenac Sodium take to show results?

Relief from inflammation can begin within hours of application, but noticeable improvement in swelling or redness typically occurs after a few days of consistent use. Full recovery depends on the underlying condition being treated.

What precautions should I take when applying Diclofenac Sodium?

Wash your hands before and after application. Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface to prevent contamination. Ensure your pet remains calm during application to avoid accidental injury to the eye. Follow the vet's instructions for dosage and frequency.
