Resumo: |
The present study aimed to evaluate the use of the association of topical Tacrolimus with liposomes containing Rapamycin in dogs with severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca, non-responsive to conventional treatments. Were studied 29 eyes with Schirmer tear test value of less than 5 mm/min. The dogs received every 15 days a subconjunctival injection of liposomes with Rapamycin at a dose of 0.4 mg/ml for two months. Topical eye drop medication was maintained with 0.03% Tacrolimus. Complete ophthalmologic evaluation using a modified McDonald-Shadduck protocol, as well as Schirmer tear tests I and II and tear film break up time were made every 15 days. The treatment used did not cause ocular side effects in any animal studied. The association of topical Tacrolimus with liposomes containing Rapamycin was effective in alleviating the clinical signs of keratoconjunctivitis sicca in dogs, as well as increased tear production and tear film quality of the studied animals |
