Diclofenac, the effective ophthalmic anti-inflammatory, relieves pain and inflammation while requiring careful use under veterinary supervision.
Form
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to reduce pain and inflammation in the eye. Before use, it’s essential to seek veterinary advice, especially if the animal shows sensitivity to its components. Combining it with other anti-inflammatory drugs is not recommended. Side effects include temporary burning sensations during application and, with chronic use, corneal damage. For safe application, follow instructions carefully, disinfect the applicator tip, and monitor the animal’s progress. Store at room temperature, away from children and animals. Consult a veterinarian for more information.

Temporary burning sensation upon application, which should not persist. Superficial focal corneal inflammation with prolonged use. Direct corneal damage, potentially delaying the healing of lesions. Rare systemic effects: gastric ulcers, reduced platelet aggregation, asthma, or kidney damage.
Side effects may be amplified when used alongside other anti-inflammatory drugs, whether steroidal or non-steroidal.
