What is Verkazia?

Verkazia is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Santen Inc. Verkazia eye drops are a topical cationic emulsion immunomodulator with FDA approval for the treatment of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) in children and adults.

VKC is a rare and recurrent allergic eye condition that mainly affects children and adolescents. Unlike seasonal ocular conjunctivitis, VKC causes severe inflammation of the surface of the eye that may lead to vision loss. Verkazia has been shown to improve inflammation of the cornea (keratitis score) and ocular itching.

What doses of Verkazia are available?

Verkazia is available as an ophthalmic emulsion, in the following doses: 0.1% (1 mg/mL).

Verkazia treatment must be initiated by an ophthalmologist or a healthcare provider qualified in ophthalmology. Instill one drop of Verkazia, 4 times daily in each affected eye. Remove contact lenses before applying Verkazia and reinsert 15 minutes after instillation.

Please read the prescribing information and always speak with a healthcare professional about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
