Has anyone experience with Cequa?

Posted by paul1940 @paul1940, Apr 12 10:50pm

I have tried all the eyes drops available including Restasis. None have worked. I now have a RX for Cequa(Cyclosporine). I'm leery about taking this immune suppressant. Any thoughts or experience with Cequa please?

I’m curious about this. Is it the same as Restasis?

No. Restasis is completely different. You could Google the two to see the difference

I have been on Cequa for over a year. I was on Restasis for many years. And Xiidra for a short time Cequa doesn't burn. I have blepharitis and may also have mild ocular Rosacea. So I wash my eyes with ocusoft products twice a day and use warm compresses also. Recently had punctual plugs put in and they are helping a lot. Also use Refresh Omega 3 moisture drops as needed.

Thanks for sharing you experience. What with the plugs are you able to discern any positive effect from the Cequa? Has Cequa caused any side effects?
I found Restatis unpleasant.

Cequa has been tolerable since I started a year ago. But my eyes are more comfortable with plugs that I got three weeks ago.
