Cyclosporine (Optimmmune) is a very expensive medicine in general. I am afraid there is no cheaper alternative as far as I know. However I found prices on the Internet from 29.95 to over 50$ per tube. So you may want to search for cheaper sources on the net and get a prescription from your veterinarian.

No- they are not working against each other and no- the Optimune did not cause it. The Optimmune increases the body's tear production which keeps the clear part of the eye-the cornea- moist. If it gets dry- it suspectible to injuries & gets secondary changes. Glaucoma is caused by increase pressure in the vitreous (the ball part of the eye) which is different than the tears. The tears are external and the vitreous internal. Hope that makes sense. Sounds like you have a great vet who is treating Lanie well! Thanks for reaching out to Boop by Petco .

Hi there! I am assuming you are using Optimmune for dry eye? If so, there is often an eye infection as well that is brewing, due to having low tears. Because of this, I strongly recommend that you see a vet sooner, rather than later, as there are likely to be additional medications that can help your dog's eyes.

Hopefully it is the same medication, although there have been lawsuits about mislabeled and counterfeit medications with online pharmacies. Also, you do need a prescription from your veterinarian in order to purchase these products. I would recommend visiting with your veterinarian, as there is a possibility they may price match for you. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. I am sorry to hear that you are unable to get the necessary treatment for Lolly. I would consider looking into CareCredit and apply for a line of credit you can use for veterinary care. You can go to their website and apply online. If that is not an option, I would consider using an eye medication called Optixcare, which you can find online quite easily. I would at least give this a try and see if it helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
