The Different Cyclosporine


VEVYE® (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.1% is the first and only water-free cyclosporine dissolved in a semifluorinated alkane approved to treat both the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.1-3

Shifting the paradigm in dry eye treatment with semifluorinated alkane technology.1

VEVYE (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.1% utilizes a novel water-free vehicle (perfluorobutylpentane), which allows VEVYE to spread evenly over the ocular surface with longer residual time and increased penetration of cyclosporine.1,4

The VEVYE Difference

Rapid Onset 5

  • 66% of subjects had 3 or more grades of tCFS (total corneal fluorescein staining) improvement by Day 29*
  • 57% of patients showed at least 3 grades of improvement in tCFS at Day 15*
  • Provided sustained improvement over 12 months

HIGH PATIENT tolerability 5

  • 99.8% of patients experienced no or mild site instillation irritation*
  • In a 52-week extension study (n=202), only 1 patient discontinued treatment due to an ocular adverse event (mild burning/stinging)
  • Blood concentrations of cyclosporine were below the measurable amount

water-free 1

  • Preservative-free
  • No pH or osmolarity

low surface tension 5-6

  • VEVYE's low surface tension improves the lipid layer grading immediately after administration
  • Perfluorobutylpentane remains in tears for up to 8 hours
  • *In pooled clinical studies
  • **A phase 3, prospective, multicenter, open-label study
  • An open-label, single-arm safety study

INDICATION AND USAGE: VEVYE® (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.1% is indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Warnings and Precautions
Potential for Eye Injury and Contamination – To avoid the potential for eye injury and/or contamination, patients should not touch the bottle tip to the eye or other surfaces.
Use with Contact Lenses – VEVYE should not be administered while wearing contact lenses. If contact lenses are worn, they should be removed prior to administration of the solution. Lenses may be reinserted 15 minutes following the administration of VEVYE.
Adverse Reactions
In clinical trials with 738 subjects receiving at least 1 dose of VEVYE, the most common adverse reactions were instillation site reactions (8%) and temporary decreases in visual acuity (3%).
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
