They have not responded well to Optimmune so were prescribed &amp;#39;homemade&amp;#39; 2% cyclosporin in virgin olive oil drops. 
 They are now doing very much better. 
 Has anyone got a favourite recipe for these</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>Re: 2% Cyclosporin Eye Drops</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/23571?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Sep 2010 21:27:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:7c2e4c0e-5b77-4814-898c-369c2e61709d</guid><dc:creator>Gillian Mostyn</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.vetsurgeon.org/forums/p/2885/6552.aspx#6552"&gt;http://www.vetsurgeon.org/forums/p/2885/6552.aspx#6552&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: 2% Cyclosporin Eye Drops</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/23562?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:46:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:60220bce-d43d-4e94-a4b2-a351f2009df7</guid><dc:creator>Emma Middleton</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Bob,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I posted a query about a recipe for &amp;quot;homemade&amp;quot; cyclosporin solution a while ago, with some very useful replies.&amp;nbsp; You should be able to find it under the title &amp;quot;Diluting Sandimmun - Help&amp;quot; in the clinical forums.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m not technically minded enough to insert a link directly to it!&amp;nbsp; In the end I also used corn oil on others&amp;#39; advice and&amp;nbsp;olive oil&amp;nbsp;did seem to be&amp;nbsp;irritant in some dogs.&amp;nbsp; Also apparently you can get&amp;nbsp;solutions made up aseptically&amp;nbsp;by Moorefields - see&amp;nbsp;robloxley&amp;#39;s post.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: 2% Cyclosporin Eye Drops</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/23556?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Sep 2010 17:14:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:3781be2d-dcbf-4820-8e99-dfd4c4e1966c</guid><dc:creator>Martin Jones</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;We use corn oil. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I commend you for following the cascade system to the letter - I have found quite a few dogs that wouldn&amp;#39;t respond to Optimmune adequately, yet seem to have improved with a different (human-licensed) cyclosporin formulation.&lt;/p&gt;
