Vetericyn Animal Ophthalmic Gel is based on Microcyn Technology. This specially formulated water-base gel is used to treat irritated eyes and provide relief from infection, burning, stinging, itching, pollutants and other foreign materials. This gel contains a patented oxychlorine compound similar to that produced by the animal's immune system. Vetericyn Ophthalmic Gel is steroid-free, antibiotic-free and does not contain alcohol. Having the same pH as tear fluid, it is non-stinging and safe to use in and around the eye. The cone shaped applicator makes it easy to apply directly to the eye. Superior to petroleum-based ointments because it will NOT stain, and is non-greasy. Vetericyn is safe if licked or ingested by the animal and is 100% biocompatible and non-toxic.
