Safe and effective formulation to treat the eyes and eyelids. Corticosteroids help to reduce associated inflammation. Safe to give to dogs and cats.
How is this medication given?
Neo/Poly/Dex Ophthalmic Suspension is topical medication that is placed directly in the eyes. Always follow your veterinarian's exact instructions regarding the use of this medication.
To use this medication, place one hand under and around your pet's chin and lift upward so that your pet's eyes are looking towards the ceiling and squeeze the prescribed quantity of eye drops into the corner of the affected eye(s) without touching the bottle directly to the eye surface.
Always wash your hands before and after treatment.
If your pet receives other eye medication(s), allow at least 5 minutes between applying each medication. Always call your veterinarian if you do not know how to use this medication correctly.
How does this medication work?
The antibiotics (neomycin and polymyxin B) stop the growth of bacteria in the eye and kill the bacteria eventually. Dexamethasone is a steroid that blocks the production of substances that trigger inflammation which helps to control related inflammation, redness, and itching.
What results can I expect?
Eye infection(s) and associated inflammation should start to improve after 48-72 hours of treatment if used as directed. Always call your veterinarian if the eye(s) look worse or are not improving.

This medication is okay so far
By Trista on Aug 8, 2021
I use this medication from my eye doctor I've only been using it for a few days so I can't give a complete review but from what I can see, it's doing its job but the only thing I can tell people is if you're going to take this medication take little tiny drops in your eyes do not put huge drops in your eyes only little tiny ones and start off slow even if your eye doctor tells you to take it three times a day take it once or twice a day start off slow make sure there's no burning or itching so far with me there's minor burning nothing to hurt me really the burning goes away in a few minutes because it's the medication is doing its job

Great product
By pandajen on Dec 4, 2018
My 12 year old Shar Pei mix was having a lot of eye irritation. The vet prescribed this and her eyes look so much better now. I know she is feeling better too! We used 2 drops per eye 2 times a day for the 1st month and now use 2 drops per eye one time a day ongoing.
