Super-Restasis ... any experience?

[RobLIC]

Hey all. Next week I'm going to try a cyclosporine formulation from Leiters with a dose roughly 10x that of Restasis. Curious if any of you veterans have experimented with this and what your experience was? Best, Rob

Rob, I did have a prescription from Leiters Pharmacy before Restasis came out. It was probably 2001. I cannot say what the % of concentration was. I do remember it burned like pouring alcohol on an open wound! I kept up on this despite the burning because I wanted to know if it would work.

It didn't work on me, but remember we're all different and have dry eyes due to different circumstances. The thing with Restasis or cyclosporin is to remember that is take quite awhile to work, so be patient. Good luck, Lucy

Super restasis

I was on that drop for a while and it was a no go but as Lucy said we are all different. My dry eyes are due to Sjogrens.

Good luck

Thank you, Lucy and Kim - I'll give it a whirl and see what happens.
