Restasis (generic: cyclosporine) is a prescription medication used to increase tear production in people with dry eye disease. Restasis belongs to a group of medicines called immunomodulators. Restasis is thought to increase tear production by decreasing the immune response and swelling (inflammation) of the eye.

This medication comes in the form of an eye drop, and one drop is instilled in each eye twice a day.

Common side effects of Restasis include eye burning, itching, stinging or redness.
