How to use Upneeq

• Wash your hands thoroughly before each use.
• Do not remove the single-use container from its child-resistant foil pouch until you are ready to use it.
• Instill one drop in each affected eye, once daily, or as directed by your provider.
• Each single-use vial contains enough solution for both eyes for one day only. Discard immediately after use — do not save or reuse leftover solution.
• There is a small amount of extra solution in each vial in case you miss getting the drop into your eye.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface to prevent injury or contamination.

Contact lenses and other eye drops

• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying Upneeq. You may reinsert them 15 minutes after use.
• If you use other eye drops, wait at least 15 minutes between products.

Storage

• Store vials at room temperature (68°F to 77°F) in their original child-resistant foil pouches.
• Keep away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not use if the solution changes color, becomes cloudy, or the packaging appears damaged.
