CEQUA was proven to produce significantly more hydrating tears to comfort dry eyes.
CEQUA was studied in 2 clinical trials totaling 1048 people with chronic dry eye. In both studies, a significantly higher percentage of people treated with CEQUA achieved a clinically relevant improvement in tear production compared to those not taking CEQUA (approximately 17% vs 9%).*
*A clinically relevant improvement in tear production is an improvement from baseline of at least 10 mm in Schirmer score assessment.
Study design: Real-world study using a nationwide sample to examine the number of dry eye patients who quit their dry eye treatment, among those taking CEQUA (1846 people), Restasis (2248 people), or Xiidra (3008 people).
Inflammation is the underlying cause of chronic dry eye and plays a role in disrupting the tear-making process. CEQUA employs an innovative formulation to stop the cycle of inflammation in its tracks and start to relieve chronic dry eye symptoms in as little as 1 month.
CEQUA® (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.09% is a topical solution that helps to increase the production of natural tears in your eye. Dry eye disease may affect the ability of your eyes to produce its own tears.
Do not use CEQUA if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Be careful not to allow the vial tip to touch your eye or any surfaces, to help avoid potential eye injury or contamination of the product.
CEQUA should not be used while wearing contact lenses. If contact lenses are worn, they should be removed prior to using CEQUA and may be reinserted after 15 minutes.
Put one drop of CEQUA twice daily (approximately 12 hours apart) into each eye using a single-use vial. The solution should be used immediately after opening, and discard the vial and remaining contents immediately after using.
The most common side effects that may be experienced while using CEQUA include: eye pain after administering drops and eye redness. Other side effects reported were eye irritation, eyelid inflammation, headache, and urinary tract infection.
