Description

Cyclomune 0.1% (3 ml)

Cyclomune 0.1% (3 ml) is an eye drop solution containing cyclosporine A, an immunosuppressant that helps manage dry eye disease caused by inflammation. It works by reducing inflammation in the tear-producing glands, allowing for better tear production and relief from symptoms like irritation, burning, and discomfort.

Cyclomune 0.1% improves eye moisture and lubrication, providing long-lasting relief. This prescription medication is typically recommended for those whose dry eyes are not adequately relieved by artificial tears.

After application, close your eye and press the inner corner near your nose for 1-2 minutes to prevent the medication from draining. Use twice daily or as prescribed. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place and discard after 28 days.

How dose it works ?

Cyclomune 0.1% (3 ml) works by reducing inflammation in the tear glands. It contains cyclosporine A, an immunosuppressant that inhibits certain immune cells responsible for causing inflammation in the eyes. By modulating the immune response, Cyclomune helps stimulate tear production and improves the quality of tears.

This results in better eye lubrication, reducing symptoms of dryness, irritation, and discomfort associated with conditions like dry eye disease. It helps restore a healthy tear film, providing long-lasting relief from inflammation-induced dryness.

• Recommended Dose:
  Instill 1 drop of Cyclomune 0.1% into each affected eye twice daily (morning and evening), or as prescribed by your doctor.

• Duration:
  The medication may take several weeks to show full benefits, so consistent use is important.

• Missed Dose:
  If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, but do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
