How to take Durysta?
Durysta, a tiny implant placed by your eye specialist directly in your eye (normally one per eye), is an extremely safe and effective treatment. Before inserting the implant, your doctor may administer a medication to numb the eye. Durysta will dissolve with time, and the effects of Durysta should last several months.
What happens if I miss the dose?
Durysta can be used as an implant, and there is no daily dosage schedule.
What happens if I overdose?
Durysta will only be administered by healthcare professionals in a medical environment. An overdose is, therefore, unlikely.
What should be avoided?
If your doctor prescribes any restrictions regarding food, beverages or activities for you to undertake, be sure to follow their advice.
Interaction with other drug
Other medications you take won't interfere with eye medication prescribed to you, though many drugs interact. Inform your healthcare provider about the medicines you take, including prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products.
