vetman assessment
vetman’s 10-point assessment brings together a product’s regulatory credibility, clinical efficacy, safety and practicality. Cost-effectiveness is assessed only when reliable data are available. It is informational and does not replace a veterinarian’s clinical judgment for an individual patient.

A numerical canine score cannot responsibly be assigned. Georgian MIS records Futaron as a 5 g bottle under რ-034828, while official foreign sources document both a 5 g bottle and a 5 ml bottle. No source maps either foreign presentation, leaflet, container, excipients, dosing or after-opening life to the Georgian authorisation. The authorised veterinary Isathal label and fusidic-acid literature describe a clinically plausible class context, but they cannot establish this exact local human product.
The Georgian Futaron record is preserved exactly as a 5 g bottle. Keep the assessment unscored and the calculator blocked until an exact Georgian leaflet or dated pack resolves which presentation is authorised and supplies a dog/cat evidence bridge.
Important safety and use flags
Identity boundary: Georgian MIS records Futaron as a 5 g bottle (რ-034828); official foreign sources show both 5 g and 5 ml bottles. Do not replace the Georgian unit or select a foreign leaflet without direct mapping evidence. No dog or cat dose is established for this exact Georgian presentation. The calculator must remain blocked; do not scale a human regimen, copy Isathal dosing or derive drops from concentration. Container, dropper or tube design, viscosity, excipients, preservative, preparation, storage and after-opening life are not established for the exact Georgian authorisation. Do not transfer these facts from a foreign presentation. Examine the eye before any antimicrobial decision. Pain, blepharospasm, corneal opacity or defect, trauma, foreign body, anterior uveitis, glaucoma, or a melting/progressive ulcer requires immediate fluorescein testing and an appropriate ophthalmic plan. Non-transferable class context only: authorised veterinary fusidic acid has a narrow staphylococcal scope and is not suitable for suspected Pseudomonas, fungal or viral disease. That comparator does not validate either Georgian human product. Primary bacterial conjunctivitis is uncommon in dogs. Investigate dry eye, allergy, eyelid or lash disease, foreign material and corneal disease rather than assuming a bacterial indication. This is a Georgian-authorised human product, not the authorised veterinary comparator. Isathal authorisation, target-animal tolerance, pregnancy statements and benefit-risk conclusions do not transfer. Exact-product ocular irritation, hypersensitivity, reproductive safety, immature-animal safety and repeated-course tolerance are not established for dogs or cats. Stop and reassess any worsening or suspected reaction. Use cytology and culture or susceptibility testing where bacterial infection is severe, recurrent, ulcerative, previously treated or non-responsive. Class resistance data cannot identify susceptibility for an individual patient. Do not start or continue empirical treatment from this record. Obtain the exact Georgian leaflet or inspect and document a dated physical pack, then reassess diagnosis, presentation, dose, handling and course before use. Assessment sources +
