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?

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?
