About Aurosporine Ophthalmic Solution 5 ml

Aurosporine Ophthalmic Solution 5 ml belongs to the class of medicines called immunosuppressants used in the treatment of severe keratitis (inflammation of the cornea) in adults. Also, it is used to treat dry eyes in patients whose condition has not been improved with artificial tears. A dry eye is a common condition that occurs when tears are unable to provide sufficient moisture. 

Aurosporine Ophthalmic Solution 5 ml contains Cyclosporine, which works by increasing tear production and decreasing inflammation (swelling) in the eye.
