Directions for Use
For topical administration only. Evert the lower eyelid and instill a steady flow of ointment into the lower conjunctival sac. Cattle and Horses: approximately 5u10 cm of ointment per eye. Sheep: approximately 5 cm of ointment per eye. Dogs and Cats: approximately 2 cm of ointment per eye. Normally a single application only is required; but treatment may be repeated after 48 to 72 hours if necessary.
