Everything You Need to Know About UPNEEQ® Eye Drops - A Simple Solution for Droopy Eyelids

Are you familiar with UPNEEQ® eye drops?

If not, this quick read is for you.

UPNEEQ® is an innovative treatment designed to address droopy eyelids – a medical condition that affects 11.5% of adults in the US. As you age, the muscles that lift your eyelids may weaken, leading to this noticeable droop. However, many people are unaware that this disorder can be treated without surgery.

Since its FDA approval in 2020, UPNEEQ® eye drops have been a game-changer for those looking to fix their droopy eyelids without surgical intervention. These eye drops help lift your eyelids and provide a more youthful and refreshed look.

Let’s learn more about these eye drops and how they can make a difference in your life.

Understanding UPNEEQ® Eye Drops

UPNEEQ® is the only FDA-approved eye drop for acquired ptosis in adults. It contains 0.1% oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution. These eye drops provide a unique and non-invasive way to temporarily lift your upper eyelids, making you look more awake and alert.

Acquired ptosis typically develops over time due to aging, muscle weakness, or nerve damage, making it a common concern for many. But UPNEEQ® offers instantly noticeable improvements in your eyelid elevation.

How Do UPNEEQ® Eye Drops Work?

UPNEEQ® eye drops target the muscle responsible for elevating your upper eyelid, known as the Müller’s muscle. The active ingredient, oxymetazoline hydrochloride, acts as an alpha-adrenergic agonist. It binds to specific receptors in the muscle, causing them to contract and lift the eyelid.

As a result, you get a more open and vibrant eye appearance. The effects are noticeable instantly, with most people seeing the results as soon as 15 minutes after application. These eye drops can last up to 8 hours. It's a non-invasive alternative to eyelid surgery and offers a simple yet effective solution for droopy eyelids.

Using UPNEEQ® eye drops is quite straightforward. The eye drops come in single-use vials to maintain sterility and minimize contamination. Here’s how to use them:

1. Preparation: Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling the vial to reduce the risk of contamination.
2. Open the Vial: Cut open the foil wrapper and remove the single-use vial. Gently twist off the tip of the single-use vial to open it.
3. Application: Tilt your head back and apply one drop into the affected eye(s). Be careful to avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any other surface.
4. Discard the Vial: Once you have applied the drop(s), discard the vial immediately. Each vial is intended for a single use.

If you use contact lenses, remove them before applying the drops. You can put them back after 15 minutes of applying the drops. Moreover, if you use more than one eye drop, make sure to apply them after a gap of at least 15 minutes.

A few other things you should keep in mind include:

• UPNEEQ® is an eye drop, don’t use it in any other way.
• Do not use UPNEEQ more frequently than prescribed.
• Store it at 68 °F — 77 °F (20 °C — 25 °C) and away from direct sunlight.
• Keep it out of reach from children.

Don’t Ignore Potential Side Effects and Considerations

Your doctor will review your medical history before prescribing UPNEEQ® eye drops. It is generally considered safe, but some patients may experience mild side effects. These may include:

• Eye irritation or redness
• Dry eyes
• Blurred vision
• Headache
• Eye pain at the time of use

In rare instances, some users may experience a more severe reaction, such as increased blood pressure. As UPNEEQ® contains oxymetazoline, people with a history of cardiovascular problems or those on medications for hypertension should use caution. If you have one of these medical conditions, consult your healthcare provider before starting treatment.

You should also disclose any other medications you are using, including over-the-counter eye drops, to avoid potential interactions. UPNEEQ® eye drops may not be suitable for people with a few pre-existing conditions, such as narrow-angle glaucoma. So, a thorough medical consultation is highly recommended.
