Overview Cequa Ophthalmic Solution (0.25ml Each)
Cequa (0.25ml single-dose units) eye drops treat dry eye disease by reducing inflammation, thereby stimulating tear production. This relieves dryness and discomfort. Do not use if the seal is broken. Always wash hands before application and shake the bottle vigorously. Remove contact lenses before use; reinsert after at least 15 minutes. Symptom improvement may take several weeks; continue using as directed. Common side effects include blurred vision and eye burning. Avoid driving if vision is impaired; this usually resolves quickly, but report persistent issues to your physician. Interactions with other oral or injectable medications are unlikely. Consult your doctor prior to use if you've experienced allergic reactions to similar eye medications. Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
