In a multicenter, double-masked, randomized, controlled study of aqueous deficient patients with corneal staining, SYSTANE® alone provided significant reduction in corneal staining from baseline at 6 months (p=0.0004).1
The same study also showed a clear statistical difference favoring the SYSTANE® + Restasis* dry eye treatment combination compared to Refresh Tears* + Restasis* in the reduction of corneal staining from baseline at 6 months.1
§Symptoms measured over the last 3 days of each treatment period.
- SYSTANE® alone was shown to be more effective than the Refresh Tears*/Restasis* combination in reducing the four symptoms commonly associated with dry eye and ocular discomfort: burning, dryness, grittiness, and foreign body sensation (p = 0.0480)1
- Overall, Restasis* used with SYSTANE® was significantly superior in reducing the 4 symptoms vs the Refresh Tears/Restasis* combination (p = 0.0191)1
Use SYSTANE® when adding an adjunct for your most severe cases.
- In hard-to-treat cases, continue using SYSTANE® Lubricant Eye Drops and add Restasis* as an adjunct therapy to increase tear flow. 1,2
- SYSTANE® is fully compatible with Restasis* The combination of SYSTANE® + Restasis* is more effective.1
