Tacrolimus Ophthalmic Solution in Oil 0.03% Compounded for Dogs

Overview – Tacrolimus Ophthalmic Solution in Oil

Tacrolimus Ophthalmic Solution in Oil compounded for dogs is created under a veterinarian’s prescription to meet specific patient needs. This sterile, oil-based formulation offers a reliable option for canine patients who require a compounded ophthalmic preparation.
Veterinarians often prescribe it to help support ocular comfort and tear production when a suitable commercial product is not available.

At Specialty Veterinary Pharmacy, our pharmacists follow USP <797> sterile compounding standards to ensure consistency and quality in every batch.
The solution is available in a 0.03% concentration and packaged in 5 mL and 15 mL sterile ophthalmic bottles, offering flexibility for different treatment plans.

Compounded in a Sterile Cleanroom

Every sterile ophthalmic medication we produce is compounded inside a certified cleanroom that undergoes inspection twice each year by an independent organization.
These inspections confirm our continued compliance with USP <797> standards.
In addition, each batch of Tacrolimus Ophthalmic Solution in Oil goes through third-party laboratory testing using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to confirm potency and sterility.
Because of this process, veterinarians can trust that each bottle meets strict quality expectations.
Test results are available upon request.
