Get Restasis Treatment Online

Restasis contains cyclosporine 0.05%, an immunosuppressive agent that targets T-cell mediated inflammation on the ocular surface. By reducing this inflammation, Restasis helps restore the lacrimal gland's ability to produce natural tears over time. Most patients use it twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart.

Restasis does not provide instant relief. Clinical studies showed that meaningful increases in tear production typically occur after 3 to 6 months of consistent twice-daily use. Some patients may notice symptom improvement sooner, but it is important to continue using Restasis as directed even if early results are modest.

Yes. Artificial tears can be used alongside Restasis to provide immediate comfort. However, if you use artificial tears at the same time as Restasis, you should wait at least 15 minutes between the two products to avoid diluting the cyclosporine emulsion.

The most commonly reported side effect of Restasis is a temporary burning or stinging sensation upon instillation, which was reported in approximately 17% of patients in clinical trials. Other side effects can include eye redness, discharge, watery eyes, eye pain, and blurred vision. These are usually mild and transient.

Restasis should not be used by patients with active ocular infections, including bacterial, viral, or fungal eye infections. It is also contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to cyclosporine or any other ingredient in the formulation. Patients currently wearing contact lenses should remove them before instilling Restasis and wait 15 minutes before reinserting them.

Restasis is not studied for use while contact lenses are in the eye. You should remove contact lenses before applying each dose and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in. This prevents potential interaction between the emulsion and the lens material.
