What is Varenicline Nasal?

Varenicline nasal is a medication delivered through the nose that works on receptors in the brain to help reduce dry eye symptoms by stimulating natural tear production. It targets nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the nasal passage, which sends signals to the lacrimal glands to produce more tears. This treatment offers an option for people with dry eye disease who need relief without putting drops directly into the eyes.
