CEQUA (Ciclosporin (0.09% w/v))

Cequa Ophthalmic Solution (0.25ml Each) is prescribed for alleviating symptoms associated with dry eyes. This medication promotes the production of tears by diminishing inflammation within the eye tissues, ensuring that the eyes remain moist and lessening any feelings of discomfort. Before using Cequa, it is essential to check that the seal on the package is intact. Proper hand hygiene should be practiced prior to administration, and it is important to shake the bottle thoroughly before use. If you wear contact lenses, make sure to remove them prior to application and wait for at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. It may take several weeks of consistent use to observe noticeable improvements in dry eye symptoms, so it is crucial to adhere to your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding its use. While the most frequently reported adverse effects include temporary blurred vision and a burning sensation in the eyes, these typically resolve quickly. If you experience blurred vision or any other visual disturbances, it is advisable to refrain from driving until your vision returns to normal. This medication is unlikely to interact with other orally or injectably administered medications, but it is vital to consult with your healthcare professional if you have a history of allergic reactions to similar treatments. Usage is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or nursing.
