How Long After Opening Should Vevye Be Discarded?

Vevye (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution 0.1%) eye drops must be discarded 90 days after first opening the single-patient-use bottle. Do not use beyond this period, even if liquid remains.[1]

What If I Forget to Track the Opening Date?

Mark the opening date on the bottle immediately upon first use. The manufacturer specifies no extensions—discard after 90 days to avoid reduced efficacy or contamination risks.[1]

Proper Storage Before and After Opening

Store unopened Vevye in its original pouch at room temperature (20-25°C or 68-77°F), away from moisture and heat. After opening, keep at room temperature; do not refrigerate or freeze. Protect from light by storing in the pouch when possible.[1]

Why the 90-Day Limit?

This shelf life post-opening accounts for preservative degradation and potential bacterial growth in multidose formats. Using beyond 90 days risks eye irritation or infection.[1]

Can Vevye Be Reused or Combined with Other Drops?

Vevye bottles are single-patient-use only—do not share. Wait 15 minutes between Vevye and other eye drops to prevent dilution.[1]
