CYCLOMUNE 0.1% – 1 BOTTLE OF 3ML

CYCLOMUNE 0.1% Eye Drops contain Ciclosporin, an immunosuppressive agent that helps reduce inflammation in the eyes, allowing for increased natural tear production. This makes it particularly effective for individuals with chronic dry eye conditions. The drops are usually prescribed when other lubricating eye drops fail to provide sufficient relief. Regular use of CYCLOMUNE can lead to significant improvements in eye comfort and tear stability.

Usage Instructions:

• Step 1: Wash your hands thoroughly before applying the eye drops.
• Step 2: Shake the bottle well before use.
• Step 3: Tilt your head back and gently pull down your lower eyelid to form a small pocket.
• Step 4: Instill one drop of CYCLOMUNE 0.1% into the affected eye(s) twice daily, about 12 hours apart.
• Step 5: Close your eyes for a few minutes and avoid blinking to allow the drops to spread evenly across the eye surface.

Benefits:

• Reduces Inflammation: Helps alleviate the inflammation associated with chronic dry eyes.
• Enhances Tear Production: Improves natural tear production, providing long-term relief from dryness.
• Improves Eye Comfort: Regular use leads to more comfortable eyes and reduced dependency on artificial tears.

Mechanism of Action:

Ciclosporin, the active ingredient in CYCLOMUNE, is an immunomodulator that suppresses the immune response that causes inflammation in the eyes. By reducing inflammation, it allows the tear glands to produce more natural tears, which helps to alleviate the symptoms of dry eyes and improve overall eye health.

Off-Label Uses:

CYCLOMUNE may also be used off-label for other inflammatory eye conditions, such as keratoconjunctivitis sicca or for preventing corneal transplant rejection under a doctor’s supervision.

Expert Advice:

• Application: Ensure even distribution of the drops by closing your eyes for a few minutes after application.
• Avoid Contamination: Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface, including the eye, to prevent contamination.
• Regular Use: Use consistently as prescribed to achieve the best results in managing dry eye symptoms.

Precautions:

1. Initial Burning Sensation: Some users may experience a temporary burning sensation after applying the drops. This usually subsides with regular use.
2. Contact Lenses: Remove contact lenses before applying CYCLOMUNE and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
3. Allergic Reactions: Discontinue use if you experience signs of an allergic reaction, such as redness, itching, or swelling of the eyes.

Storage Conditions:

• Temperature: Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Cap: Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to maintain sterility.
• Shelf Life: Discard any remaining solution 30 days after opening the bottle.
