Uses / Indications:

Pregnancy interaction:
Category: Talk to your doctor before using.
There isn't a lot of human data on how safe Cyclosporine is during pregnancy.
Animal studies indicate possible dangers at elevated levels; nonetheless, ocular application results in negligible systemic absorption.
It can only be given to pregnant women if it is obviously needed and the possible benefits exceed the risks.
Before you use it, always talk to your eye doctor or obstetrician
Expert advice:
Take Imudrops as directed, not just when you have symptoms.
It may take 4 to 6 weeks of using it every day to see results.
Do not wear contact lenses while the instillation is going on; put them back in after at least 15 minutes.
Do not touch the tip of the vial to keep it clean.
Keep it below 25°C and away from light and moisture.
Throw away any single-use vials that you don't need.
Side Effects:
A brief scorching or stinging feeling
Vision that is blurry right after use
Itching or redness in the eyes
Eyes that are watery
Feeling like something is in your body
Side effects that are rare yet serious:
Pain or swelling in the eyes
Changes in vision
Signs of an eye infection include discharge and extreme redness.
Stop using the drops right away and call your doctor if you have any severe reactions.
How to use:
Before you use the eye drop, wash your hands.
Gently shake the vial that can only be used once.
To make a pocket, tilt your head back and pull down the lower eyelid.
Put one drop in the eye(s) that are affected, as your doctor told you to.
Don't let the dropper tip touch anything or your eye.
After putting it on, softly close your eyes for 1–2 minutes.
After one usage, throw away the vial. Do not use single-use vials again.
If you are using other eye drops, wait 15 to 20 minutes between applications.
How it works:
Imudrops has Cyclosporine in it, which changes the way the immune system works.
It acts by stopping T-cells from becoming active. These cells make inflammatory chemicals that hurt tear glands.
This helps lower inflammation in the eyes and makes the body produce more tears naturally, which helps with dryness and irritation in the long term.
Faq for medicine:
1. Is it okay to use Imudrops with fake tears?
Yes. You can use artificial tears, but you should wait 15 minutes between uses.
2. How long does it take to see results?
It can take 4 to 6 weeks of frequent use before you notice a difference in your dry eye problems.
3. Is it safe to use for a long time?
Yes. People commonly take cyclosporine eye drops for a long time with the help of a doctor.
4. Can I wear it while I have contacts in?
No. Take out your contact lenses before using them, and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.
5. What should I do if I forget to take my medicine?
As soon as you remember, put it on. If it's almost time for the next dose, skip it. Don't take two doses.
6. After using the drops, can I drive?
Don't drive right after using it because your vision may be blurry for a short time.
7. Is it safe to use while nursing?
Be careful when using. Talk to your doctor before using it, even though systemic absorption is low.
Medicine interaction:
There is only a small chance of systemic absorption, but if you take it with other systemic medications, you could have:
Cyclosporine (oral) – higher systemic exposure.
Other immunosuppressants have effects that contribute to each other.
Ocular corticosteroids may make it more likely that you may have an infection or that your wound will take longer to heal.
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you use, even herbal and over-the-counter eye drops.
