WHAT OZURDEX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active substance in OZURDEX is dexamethasone. Dexamethasone
belongs to a group of
medicines called corticosteroids.
OZURDEX is used to treat adult patients with:
Vision loss due to diabetic macular oedema (DME), if you have already
had an operation for
cataract, or if you have not previously responded to, or are not
suitable for, other types of
treatment. Diabetic macular oedema is a swelling of the
light-sensitive layer at the back of the
eye called the macula. DME is a condition that affects some people
with diabetes.
Vision loss caused by a blockage of veins in the eye. This blockage
leads to a build up of fluid
causing swelling in the area of the retina (the light-sensitive layer
at the back of the eye) called
the macula.
Swelling of the macula may lead to damage which affects your central
vision which is used for
tasks like reading. OZURDEX works by reducing this swelling of the
macular which helps to
lessen or prevent more damage to the macula.
Inflammation of the back of the eye. This inflammation leads to a
decrease of vision and/or
the presence of floaters in the eye, (black dots or wispy lines that
move across the field of
vision). OZURDEX works by reducing this inflammation.

The recommended dose is one OZURDEX implant to be administered
intra-vitreally to the affected
eye. Administration to both eyes concurrently is not recommended (see
section 4.4).
_DME_
Patients treated with OZURDEX who have experienced an initial response
and in the physician’s
opinion may benefit from retreatment without being exposed to
significant risk should be considered
for retreatment.
Retreatment may be performed after approximately 6 months if the
patient experiences decreased
vision and/or an increase in retinal thickness, secondary to recurrent
or worsening diabetic macular
oedema.
There is currently no experience of the efficacy or safety of repeat
administrations in DME beyond
7 implants.

Repeat doses should be considered when a patient experiences a
response to treatment followed
subsequently by a loss in visual acuity and in the physician
