Can Cequa be used along with artificial tears?

Cequa can be used with lubricating eye drops. Wait approximately 15 minutes between administration of the two meds.

For how long should I use Cequa?

Administration of a solution containing 0.09% cyclosporine solution helps produce more natural tears. A relapse of symptoms may occur if treatment with cyclosporine eye drops such as Cequa is discontinued. Cequa is normally prescribed to be used for at least about six months, and full-time use is common.

The cyclosporine solution in Cequa is classified as a calcineurin inhibitor, so it isn't a steroid medication.

How often can I apply Cequa eyedrops?

Follow the prescribing doctor's instructions. The standard dosage is one drop of Cequa twice daily, with a gap of approximately 12 hours. Insert the drop into each eye using the single-use vial. It should be administered immediately after opening, and the remaining contents should be discarded immediately after use.
