Desmopressin Acetate 0.01% ophthalmic solution compounded for cats and dogs
Desmopressin Ophthalmic Solution for Dogs and Cats
Overview
Desmopressin Ophthalmic Solution for Dogs and Cats (0.01%) is a compounded medication we prepare for individual patients with a valid prescription. Our pharmacists create this sterile ophthalmic preparation so caregivers can administer it with accuracy. Because it comes as an ophthalmic solution, veterinarians may recommend it when commercial products do not fit a patient’s needs.
Prescription required. We compound this medication for specific patients, and it is not FDA-approved.
Why Choose an Ophthalmic Solution
Firstly, ophthalmic solutions allow precise dropwise dosing that supports veterinarian-directed instructions. Secondly, the liquid format can simplify administration compared with tablets. In addition, we use pharmaceutical-grade ingredients to maintain quality. Finally, we ship each order in a foam cooler with cold packs to help preserve stability during transit.
