What is UpNeeq:

Who is it for:

Upneeq is for use in adults and children at least 13 years old that would like to have a brighter and fresher look.

If your eyes look “tired” or “sleepy,” you may have a condition called acquired blepharoptosis (also known as acquired ptosis or low-lying lids).

• UpNeeq belongs to a class of medication (alpha-adrenergic agonists) that may affect your blood pressure. Use UPNEEQ carefully if you currently take an alpha-adrenergic agonist medication to treat heart disease or an enlarged prostate. Patients taking beta-blockers, or other medications to treat hypertension or an abnormal heartbeat, should also be careful when using UpNeeq.
• Patients who use a certain class of antidepressant medication (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) should also be careful when using UpNeeq, as it may affect the way your body absorbs the medication.
