Description
Cyclosporine Emulsion 0.4 mL is an ophthalmic immunomodulatory agent used for the treatment of dry eye disease and associated inflammation. It is specifically formulated to increase tear production in patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca, a condition characterized by chronic ocular dryness and irritation.
The active ingredient, cyclosporine, is a calcineurin inhibitor that suppresses T-cell activation and cytokine release, thereby reducing immune-mediated damage to the lacrimal glands. This mechanism helps restore natural tear production and alleviates symptoms such as burning, redness, and discomfort.
The emulsion is supplied in sterile, preservative-free containers to ensure safety and efficacy. Due to its lipid-based formulation, it enhances drug retention on the ocular surface, providing prolonged therapeutic benefits. Patients are advised to shake the vial gently before administration to ensure uniform distribution of the active ingredient.
