Upneeq® is a prescription eyedrop. One eye drop is inserted into each eye once a day.

Upneeq’s® active ingredient consists of a 0.1 percent oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution. Oxymetazoline is found in other medications, like nasal decongestant spray. With Upneeq, oxymetazoline causes the upper eyelid muscle to contract (tighten up). This causes a subtle lifting effect and opens the eyes wider.
Upneeq’s lifting effect is temporary. Visible improvement is typically seen within 15 minutes of application. Results can last up to six hours.

Upneeq® is designed for men and women suffering from acquired ptosis (droopy eyelids caused by aging.) The daily eyedrop provides moderate improvement. It is ideal for individuals who want younger-looking eyes without surgical intervention.

Upneeq® may interfere with certain medications, especially those that affect blood pressure and amine metabolism. Be sure to disclose medication use and medical history to your doctor.

Upneeq® is FDA-approved and clinically proven to be safe and effective. Side effects are rare. However, in a small percentage of patients, Upneeq may cause eye inflammation, redness, dryness, blurred vision, or headache. These side effects are temporary.
