Upneeq

Upneeq® is a prescription eye drop medication used to treat acquired blepharoptosis, which is a condition where the upper eyelid droops or sags due to weakened muscles. Upneeq® contains the active ingredient oxymetazoline, which works by stimulating the muscles that lift the eyelid, helping to raise the eyelid and improve the patient’s vision.

The FDA approves Upneeq® for use in adults with acquired blepharoptosis, and it is typically applied to the affected eye(s) once daily. However, it is important to note that Upneeq® may cause certain side effects, such as eye redness, eye irritation, dry mouth, and headache, and it should only be used as directed by a healthcare professional.
