Cequa is primarily used for the treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca, commonly known as dry eye disease. This medication works by increasing the production of tears, which helps to relieve dryness and discomfort in the eyes. Cequa is applied directly to the eye and is designed to improve the overall health of the ocular surface.

Common effects of Cequa may include temporary burning or stinging upon application. Some users may experience blurred vision immediately after use. These effects are usually mild and short-lived. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, consult your healthcare provider.

Cequa should be used 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 ingredients in Cequa, do not use this medication. Always follow the storage instructions provided with the product.

Cequa may interact with other medications, especially those used in the eyes. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently using. Avoid using other eye drops unless directed by your doctor. Alcohol and certain foods generally do not interact with Cequa, but always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
