RESTASIS 0.5MG 30s is an ophthalmic emulsion specifically designed to increase tear production in patients who have reduced tear production due to ocular inflammation associated with keratoconjunctivitis sicca, commonly known as dry eye disease.
RESTASIS contains cyclosporine, an immunosuppressive agent that helps to decrease inflammation in the eye, allowing for increased natural tear production. This helps alleviate the symptoms of dry eyes, providing relief and comfort for individuals suffering from this condition.
To use RESTASIS, tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper above the eye and apply the prescribed number of drops. Close your eyes gently and apply pressure to the inside corner of your eye for about one minute to prevent the liquid from draining into your tear duct.
RESTASIS is intended for adults diagnosed with chronic dry eye disease due to inflammation. It is particularly useful for those who have not found relief with over-the-counter artificial tears. Always consult with a healthcare provider to determine if RESTASIS is suitable for your condition.
Common side effects may include temporary burning, stinging, redness, or blurred vision upon application. If side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider promptly.
Store RESTASIS at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use to maintain the integrity of the medication.
Contact lenses should be removed before applying RESTASIS and can be reinserted 15 minutes after administration.
Improvement in tear production may be observed after several weeks of consistent use. Full benefits are typically reached after 3 to 6 months of regular application as directed by your healthcare provider.
Yes, RESTASIS is a prescription medication and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
