Is Neo-Poly-Dex safe for long-term use?

What should I do if my pet shows an allergic reaction to Neo-Poly-Dex?

If your pet exhibits signs of an allergic reaction, such as increased redness, swelling, or excessive tearing, stop using the medication and contact your veterinarian immediately. An alternative treatment may be necessary.

How long does it take for Neo-Poly-Dex to show results?

Most pets experience symptom relief within a few days of using Neo-Poly-Dex. However, the full course of treatment should be completed as prescribed to ensure complete recovery and prevent recurrence of the infection.

Can I use Neo-Poly-Dex if my pet is pregnant or nursing?

The safety of Neo-Poly-Dex for pregnant or nursing pets has not been fully established. Discuss your pet’s condition with your veterinarian to evaluate the risks and benefits of using this medication during pregnancy or lactation.

What happens if I miss a dose of Neo-Poly-Dex?

If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one, as this can lead to overmedication.

Are there any alternatives to Neo-Poly-Dex for eye infections?
