Cequa

Cequa (Ciclosporin) is an ophthalmic emulsion used to increase tear production in patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye disease). This prescription medication helps relieve dryness and discomfort associated with dry eyes.

Cequa is primarily used for the treatment of dry eye disease. It works by increasing the production of tears, which helps to lubricate the eyes and reduce symptoms such as dryness, irritation, and discomfort. This medication is applied directly to the eyes and is designed to provide relief for those suffering from chronic dry eye conditions.

Common effects of Cequa may include temporary burning or stinging upon application, blurred vision, and redness of the eyes. These effects are usually mild and transient. If any of these effects persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional.

Cequa should be used with caution in patients with a history of eye infections or other eye conditions. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions provided by a healthcare professional. Avoid touching the tip of the bottle to prevent contamination.

Cequa may interact with other eye medications. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are currently using, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Always consult a healthcare professional before combining treatments.
