Tyrvaya
Tyrvaya (generic name: varenicline nasal spray) is a prescription medication used to treat dry eye disease. It is the first and only nasal spray approved for this condition. Tyrvaya works by stimulating the trigeminal parasympathetic pathway, which activates the glands responsible for tear production. This helps to increase natural tear production and alleviate symptoms of dry eye disease, such as irritation, dryness, and discomfort.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Tyrvaya Work?
Tyrvaya contains varenicline, which is a partial agonist at the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. When administered via nasal spray, it stimulates the trigeminal parasympathetic pathway, which in turn increases basal tear production by activating the lacrimal glands. This increased tear production helps to relieve the symptoms of dry eye disease.
Common Dosages
- Tyrvaya is administered as a 0.03 mg/spray solution, with one spray in each nostril twice daily (morning and evening).
Typical Dosing
- Administer one spray in each nostril twice daily (once in the morning and once in the evening).
- Tyrvaya is designed for long-term use to manage dry eye disease, and patients are advised to use it consistently for optimal results.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Treatment of dry eye disease in adults.
Who Shouldn't Take Tyrvaya?
- Known hypersensitivity to varenicline or any of the other ingredients in the formulation.
- Severe nasal irritation or recent nasal surgery, as the use of a nasal spray may worsen irritation or delay healing.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Use Tyrvaya as prescribed, twice daily in both nostrils. Be sure to follow the instructions on how to properly administer the nasal spray.
- If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but if it is close to the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double up doses.
- The nasal spray should be primed before the first use by spraying into the air several times until a mist is seen. Re-prime if the spray hasn't been used for more than 5 days.
- Store the nasal spray at room temperature and keep it away from moisture and heat.
