Do I need a prescription for Upneeq®?

Yes. Upneeq® is available by prescription only and must be prescribed by a qualified medical practitioner. Before prescribing the medication, your practitioner will evaluate your eyelids, review your medical history, and determine whether acquired ptosis is the cause of your symptoms.

This evaluation is important because not all droopy eyelids are caused by ptosis. Some patients may have excess eyelid skin or another condition that requires a different treatment approach. A professional assessment helps ensure you receive the safest, most effective treatment for your specific concerns.
