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 reducing inflammation and promoting tear production, which can alleviate 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 persistent dry eye conditions.

Common effects of Cequa® may include temporary burning or stinging upon application, blurred vision, and redness. These effects are usually mild and short-lived. Users should consult their healthcare provider if they experience persistent or severe side effects.

Cequa® should be used as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to avoid touching the tip of the bottle to prevent contamination. Users should also be cautious when driving or operating machinery until they know how the medication affects their vision. Always follow the prescribed dosage and storage instructions.

Cequa® may interact with other medications, particularly those used for eye conditions. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are currently taking. Avoid using other eye drops unless directed by your doctor, as they may interact with Cequa®.
