Indications

Cyclorin is used to increase tear production in people whose tear production is reduced because of eye inflammation linked to dry eye syndrome (keratoconjunctivitis sicca).

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

The sterile ophthalmic form of Cyclosporine works as an immunomodulator, helping patients whose tear production has been reduced because of the eye inflammation seen in keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye disease).

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy category C. No adequate, well-controlled studies have looked at Cyclosporine ophthalmic solution in pregnant women, so it should be used during pregnancy only if the need is clear. Cyclosporine is known to pass into human breast milk when taken systemically, but whether it does so after topical eye use hasn't been studied. Blood levels remain undetectable after topical use of Cyclosporine ophthalmic solution, but it should still be used with caution in breastfeeding women.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
