Warning:  

Keep out of reach of children.

Neomycin can sometimes cause allergic reactions in pets, especially when used for long periods. Stop the treatment and consult a veterinarian if this happens.

In addition, prolonged use of antibiotics can cause bacterial and fungal resistance (fungi) leading to failure of treatment.

Wash hands after handling the product.

Clean the eye with a non-irritating solution indicated for this purpose before applying the medication.

Avoid touching the eye with the tip of the tube and disinfect it with rubbing alcohol after each application.

Close the animal's eyelids and gently massage them for a few seconds to fully spread the product over the entire surface of the eye.

Prevent the animal from rubbing the area near the eyes after application. If necessary, put an Elizabethan collar ("lampshade") on him.

Discard the tube 1 month after opening it.

Apply solutions before ointments when multiple ophthalmic medications of different textures are used at the same time.

Wait 5 minutes between the ocular products to allow time for each one to be absorbed.
