What warnings and precautions are associated with Upneeq®?
Patients with reduced blood flow to the brain or heart or who experience eye or mouth dryness due to an immune system disorder (Sjögren’s syndrome) should take Upneeq® with care. Call your doctor immediately if you feel your symptoms may be getting worse.
Upneeq® may increase the risk of eye pressure due to fluid buildup (angle-closure glaucoma) in patients with untreated narrow-angle glaucoma. Do not let the tip of the Upneeq® vial touch your eye or any other surface. This can help prevent eye injury or contamination.
Please call your doctor immediately if you feel an increased pressure in your eye after using Upneeq®.
Each Upneeq® vial is for one-time use and should be discarded.
