Dosage And Administration
Invert the unit dose vial a few times to obtain a uniform, white, opaque emulsion before using. Instill one drop of RESTASIS® twice a day in each eye approximately 12 hours apart. RESTASIS® can be used concomitantly with artificial tears, allowing a 15 minute interval between products. Discard vial immediately after use.
Each mL contains
Active: Cyclosporine emulsion 0.05%
Inactive: glycerin, castor oil, polysorbate 80, carbomer 1342, purified water and sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH.
Indications and Usage
RESTASIS® is indicated to increase tear production in patients whose tear production is presumed to be suppressed due to ocular inflammation associated with keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Increased tear production was not seen in patients currently taking topical anti-inflammatory drugs or using punctal plugs.
