Cequa

Cequa is an ophthalmic emulsion containing ciclosporin, used for treating chronic dry eye disease. This prescription medication helps increase tear production and improve eye comfort.

Cequa is primarily used for the treatment of chronic dry eye disease. It works by increasing the production of tears, which can help alleviate symptoms such as dryness, irritation, and discomfort. This medication is applied directly to the eyes and is designed to improve the overall health and comfort of the ocular surface.

Common effects of Cequa may include temporary burning or stinging upon application. Some users may also experience blurred vision immediately after use. These effects are usually mild and transient, but if they persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional.

Cequa should be used strictly as directed by a healthcare professional. Avoid touching the tip of the container to prevent contamination. If you are allergic to ciclosporin or any of the other ingredients, do not use this medication. Always follow the storage instructions provided to maintain the effectiveness of the product.

Cequa may interact with other medications, especially those used in the eyes. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently using. Avoid using other eye drops unless directed by a healthcare professional, as they may interact with Cequa.
