Prescription Required Use As Directed: Sold Per Bottle

Indications: The primary use of idoxuridine is in the treatment of conjunctival and corneal disease associated with feline herpesvirus. When applied to the eye idoxuridine is most effective against viruses affecting the conjunctiva, and corneal epithelium and stroma.

Caution: Consult with your veterinarian if your pet is taking another eye medication, especially corticosteriods and boric acid ointments. The end-point of therapy is often difficult to determine, because feline herpesvirus-1 readily becomes inactive, and signs may recur with termination of the drug. At a minimum, treatment is continued for one week after signs of disease have resolved. The duration of administration depends on the condition being treated, response to the medication and the development of any adverse effects. Be certain to complete the prescription unless specifically directed by your veterinarian. Even if your pet feels better, the entire treatment plan should be completed to prevent relapse or prevent the development of resistance. Should your pet miss its scheduled dose, administer as soon as you remember. Should you remember close to your pet's next scheduled dose, administer during the next scheduled dosing period, do not double the dose. Idoxuridine should not be used in pregnant or lactating animals.

Drug Interactions: Idoxuridine should not be used in animals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to the drug. Idoxuridine may interact with other medications. Consult with your veterinarian to determine if other drugs your pet is receiving could interact with idoxuridine. Such drugs include topical boric acid ointments and corticosteroids.

Side Effects: Idoxuridine can be irritating to the eye, particularly to an injured eye. Signifcant adverse events have not been reported. Should your pet experience a severe adverse event, discontinue the medication and contact your veterinarian.
