At VLP Pharmacy, we prioritise the health and safety of your dog. Under Australian law, therapeutic eye ointments and drops (such as Cyclosporine) used to manage conditions like "Dry Eye" KCS) are classified as Schedule 4 (S4) Prescription Only. These medications can only be dispensed by a registered pharmacist upon receipt of a valid, original paper prescription from an Australian registered veterinarian.
VLP Pharmacyʼs 3-Step Ordering Process
- Consult Your Veterinarian: Your vet must determine if a specific medication is appropriate for your petʼs condition and provide you with a written prescription.
- Submit Your Order Online: Select the prescribed strength and quantity from our pharmacy that exactly matches whatʼs on your petʼs prescription. During checkout, you will be prompted to upload a digital copy of your prescription for our pharmacists to review.
- Mail the Original Paper Prescription: Australian law requires pharmacies to hold the physical, original paper prescription before dispatching S4 medications.
Important Safety Information
- Side Effects: Some dogs may experience temporary squinting, pawing at the eye, or redness immediately after application.
- Precautions: Maintain strict hygiene; never touch the tip of the tube or dropper to the dog's eye surface to prevent contamination.
- Contraindications: Do not use if your dog has an active viral or fungal infection of the eye, as these medications may suppress the local immune response.
