Verkazia Eye Drops 0.1% – Ciclosporin Eye Drops, 120 Doses

Verkazia eye drops contains the active ingredient, ciclosporin. Ciclosporin reduces the activity of the body’s immune (defence) system and in this way it reduces inflammation (body response to harmful stimuli).

Verkazia Ciclosporin Eye Drops is used to treat children and adolescents aged 4 to 18 years with severe vernal keratoconjunctivitis (an allergic condition of the eye that occurs more frequently in spring and affects the transparent layer in the front part of the eye and the thin membrane covering the front part of the eye).

Ciclosporin Eye Drops can be used to treat cats and dogs when prescribed by a vet.

How To Use

How to use Verkazia

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

A caregiver should help a child starting Verkazia treatment, particularly if the child is aged under 10 years, and should continue to supervise the child until the child is able to use Verkazia properly without help.

The recommended dose is 1 drop of Verkazia in each affected eye 4 times a day (morning, mid-day, afternoon and evening). You should continue Verkazia as prescribed by your doctor.

Instructions for use

Follow these instructions carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if there is anything you do not understand.

1. Wash your hands
2. Open the aluminium pouch, which contains 5 single-dose containers
3. Take 1 single-dose container from the aluminium pouch, leaving the remaining containers in the pouch
4. Gently shake the single-dose container
5. Twist off the cap (picture 1)
6. Pull down your lower eyelid (picture 2)
7. Tilt your head back and look up at the ceiling
8. Gently squeeze one drop of the medicine onto your eye. Make sure that the tip of the single-dose container does not touch your eye
9. Blink a few times so that the medicine spreads across your eye
10. After using Verkazia, press a finger lightly on the inner corner of your eyelid, next to your nose for 2 minutes (picture 3). A small duct that drains tears away from your eye and into your nose is located here. By pressing at this point, you close down the opening of this drainage duct. This helps to stop Verkazia getting into the rest of the body.
11. If you use drops in both eyes, repeat the steps 6 to 9 for your other eye.
12. Discard the single-dose container as soon as you have used it, even if there is still some medicine left in it

If a drop misses your eye, try again.

If you put in more Verkazia than you should, rinse your eye with water. Do not put in any more drops until it is time for your next regular dose.

If you forget to use Verkazia, continue with the next dose as planned. Do not take a double dose to make up for the forgotten dose. Do not use more than 1 drop 4 times a day in the affected eye(s).

If you stop using Verkazia without speaking to your doctor, your eye allergy will not be controlled and could lead to long-term problems with your sight.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
