Compounded Tacrolimus Ophthalmic (Veterinary) for Ames Patients

Tacrolimus eye drops and ointment, usually 0.02% or 0.03%, are compounded for dogs with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye) and some immune-mediated eye conditions. It works like cyclosporine, the approved dry-eye treatment for dogs, and is prescribed when cyclosporine is not enough or not tolerated. No commercial veterinary tacrolimus eye product exists, so it is compounded to order in an aqueous or oil base and applied once or twice daily. Owners should wash hands after use. A veterinary prescription is required; tacrolimus is not used in cats' eyes without specialist guidance. Compounding Finder connects Ames patients with 86 licensed compounding pharmacies — so you can compare pricing, formulations, and turnaround times at no cost.

Key Questions Before You Request Quotes

Can I get Tacrolimus Ophthalmic (Veterinary) compounded?

Possibly. A licensed prescriber has to decide whether Tacrolimus Ophthalmic (Veterinary) is appropriate, and a licensed compounding pharmacy has to confirm it can legally prepare the requested strength, form, and quantity for Ames, IA.

Is a prescription needed?

Yes. A valid veterinary prescription is needed before a pharmacy can dispense a compounded animal drug.

What affects price?

Strength, dosage form, quantity, ingredient sourcing, sterile versus non-sterile preparation, shipping requirements, and each pharmacy's workflow can all change the final quote.

How fast can I get quotes?

For routable requests, Compounding Finder typically returns quote options by email within 1-2 business days after you submit the request details.

What happens after I submit?

We review the request, route it to eligible licensed pharmacies, collect available options, and email you the quoted choices. You decide whether to move forward with a pharmacy.

Source notes: FDA describes animal drug compounding as medication tailored to an individual animal or small group of animals and explains that compounded animal drugs are not FDA-approved. See Animal Drug Compounding and GFI #256 Q&A.

By uploading, you consent to AI-assisted parsing to extract medication details and pre-fill the form. If you submit this request, the prescription file is saved with your quote request so Compounding Finder can verify medication, quantity, allergies, and other details before outreach. Pharmacies will not be able to view the uploaded file through the portal at this time. The AI parsing step is used only to extract form details and is not used for training.

Note: Tirzepatide & Semaglutide can only be compounded for patients with a documented medical necessity — such as an allergy to an inactive ingredient or need for an alternative formulation. Diagnosis alone (e.g. weight loss, type 2 diabetes) and cost are not valid reasons under FDA 503A. Wegovy and the single-dose Zepbound and Mounjaro pens and vials are already preservative-free, so that on its own is not a reason either.

Brand-specific reason for compounding *

Required by your pharmacy under FDA 503A. The Rx must document this reason — the pharmacy will reject a generic or diagnosis-only justification.

We can no longer fulfill compounded Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT) requests. The FDA is taking enforcement action against unapproved animal-derived thyroid products, and US compounding pharmacies are no longer filling NDT prescriptions. FDA-approved alternatives — Armour Thyroid, NP Thyroid, and WP Thyroid — remain available at retail pharmacies with a prescription. See alternatives →

Quantity Needed *

Prescription quantity tip: enter the amount dispensed in one fill. For example, if your Rx says "60 capsules, refill ×2", enter 60, not 180. For creams, gels, lotions, foams, and transdermal/vaginal preparations, choose grams or mL exactly as written.
