Ecomune Eye Drop is a medicine used for the treatment of dry eyes. It allows for increased tear production by decreasing inflammation (swelling) in the eye. This keeps the eyes lubricated and reduces discomfort.

Keep using it as prescribed.

The most common side effects of this medicine are blurred vision and burning sensations in the eyes. If your vision is blurred or you have other changes in sight for a time, do not drive until your vision is clear. This is usually a short-term side effect, inform your doctor if it bothers you.

It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way it works. Talk to your doctor before using Ecomune Eye Drop if you have used a similar medicine before and had an allergic reaction. Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
