Tacrolimus Ophthalmic Solution in Oil 0.02% Compounded for Dogs
Overview – Tacrolimus Ophthalmic Solution in Oil
Tacrolimus Ophthalmic Solution in Oil 0.02% compounded for dogs is prepared under a veterinarian’s prescription. This sterile, oil-based solution provides a lower-strength option for canine patients who require customized ophthalmic care. Veterinarians often choose this compounded preparation to support ocular comfort and tear production when suitable commercial alternatives are unavailable.
At Specialty Veterinary Pharmacy, we prepare every prescription using USP <797> sterile compounding standards. These guidelines help ensure consistency, sterility, and accuracy throughout the compounding process. As a result, pet owners and veterinarians can trust in the reliability of each order. Tacrolimus Ophthalmic Solution in Oil 0.02% comes in a 10 mL sterile ophthalmic bottle.
Compounded in a Certified Sterile Cleanroom
Specialty Veterinary Pharmacy compounds all sterile ophthalmic medications in a certified cleanroom inspected twice a year by an independent organization. These inspections confirm our full compliance with USP <797> standards.
In addition, each batch of Tacrolimus Ophthalmic Solution in Oil undergoes third-party laboratory testing with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to confirm potency and sterility before release.
Therefore, veterinarians can depend on every bottle for consistent quality and verified accuracy. Test reports are available upon request for transparency.
