About RESTASIS 32 KIT DROPS

RESTASIS 32 KIT DROPS 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.
