Directions
How It Works
Vedlube® combines white petrolatum and mineral oil to form a lubricating layer over the surface of the eye. This helps maintain moisture, relieve dryness, and protect the eye from further irritation.
The ointment consistency allows the lubricant to remain on the surface of the eye longer than a thin liquid lubricant.
Indications
Vedlube® Ophthalmic Ointment is intended for use in dogs and cats as an ophthalmic lubricant to:
- Relieve dryness of the eye
- Help prevent further irritation
- Provide lubrication to the surface of the eye
Directions
- For ophthalmic use only.
- Wash hands before application.
- Gently pull down the lower eyelid of the affected eye.
- Apply approximately a 1/4-inch ribbon of ointment inside the lower eyelid.
- Repeat every 3-4 hours or as directed.
- Avoid touching the tip of the tube to the eye, eyelid, fingers, or other surfaces.
- Replace the cap securely after each use.
