RESTASIS 0.5MG 10s is a prescription eye drop medication designed to help increase tear production in patients whose tear production is presumed to be suppressed due to ocular inflammation associated with keratoconjunctivitis sicca, commonly known as dry eye disease.
RESTASIS contains the active ingredient cyclosporine, which works by reducing inflammation in the eyes. This reduction in inflammation helps increase the eyes' ability to produce tears, thereby alleviating symptoms of chronic dry eye.
RESTASIS is intended for patients diagnosed with chronic dry eye disease, particularly those who have not found sufficient relief from over-the-counter eye drops and whose tear production is suppressed due to ocular inflammation.
RESTASIS should be used as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Typically, it is administered as one drop in each eye twice a day, approximately 12 hours apart. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to discontinue use without consulting a doctor.
Some patients may experience side effects such as eye burning, redness, discharge, watery eyes, eye pain, foreign body sensation, itching, stinging, or blurred vision. If side effects persist or worsen, it is advisable to contact a healthcare provider.
If using other eye drops or ointments, it is recommended to wait at least 15 minutes between applications. Always consult with a healthcare professional before combining treatments to ensure compatibility and effectiveness.
Before using RESTASIS, inform your doctor of any allergies, medical conditions, or other medications you are taking. It is crucial to avoid touching the tip of the dropper to any surface to prevent contamination. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying RESTASIS and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
It is important to discuss with a healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before using RESTASIS, as they can provide guidance based on your specific circumstances.
