Usage

Restasis (Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Emulsion) is an immunosuppressive agent used to treat chronic dry eye that may be caused by inflammation (source). Cyclosporine belongs to a class of drugs called calcineurin inhibitor immunosuppressants. This happens when the eyes cannot produce tears to keep the eyes moist and comfortable. This medication works on the immune cells in the eyes to decrease inflammation that may cause dry eyes. Restasis helps to increase your eyes' natural ability to produce tears, which keeps the eyes moisturized. Restasis is prescribed for people ages 16 years and older (source).

According to the product monograph, the recommended dose of Cyclosporine eye drop is one drop into the affected eye twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart. Restasis Multidose is a preservative-free, multi-dose that offers the same formulation as Restasis in a multi-dose bottle.

It is crucial to take the medication exactly as your doctor prescribes and refer to the official website.

Side Effects and Precautions

Restasis's most common side effect is a temporary burning sensation or other eye discomfort (source). Other side effects include:
• Eye discharge;
• Pain;
• Redness;
• Watery eye;
• Stinging or blurred vision

Warnings and Interactions

WebMD states that you should not use Restasis if you are allergic to Cyclosporine or have other allergies. Before you start using the medication, inform your doctor about your medical conditions and all the medicines you currently take, including OTC and herbal medications. Inform your doctor if you have a history of current or eye infections. This medication may cause blurred vision. You should not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires clear vision until you can perform these activities safely. Restasis should not be used while wearing contact lenses. Contact lenses should be removed before use and reinserted after 15 minutes (source). Avoid grapefruit juice; it can increase the amount of Cyclosporine your body absorbs and increase the risk of side effects (source). Restasis should only be used if it is needed during pregnancy. It is unknown whether this drug passes into breast milk. Talk to your doctor before breast-feeding.
