ICD-10 H40

Omidenepag is used in the treatment of glaucoma, based on its FDA-labeled indications.

What is glaucoma? Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the optic nerve of one, or both, of your eyes. This can result in vision loss . There are different types of glaucoma, but the most common type is open-angle glaucoma. Other less common types include…… More on Glaucoma →

How Omidenepag is used

INDICATIONS AND USAGE Omlonti (omidenepag isopropyl ophthalmic solution) 0.002%, is indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Omlonti (omidenepag isopropyl ophthalmic solution) 0.002%, is a relatively selective prostaglandin E2 (EP2) receptor agonist, indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Dosage

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommended dosage is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. 2.2 Administration Instructions Gently shake the bottle prior to administration. If more than one topical ophthalmic drug is being used, the drugs should be administered at least five (5) minutes apart. Contact lenses should be removed prior to the administration of Omlonti, and may be reinserted 15 minutes after administration [see Patient Counseling Information (17) ].

Warnings

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Pigmentation ( 5.1 ) Eyelash changes ( 5.2 ) Ocular Inflammation ( 5.3 ) Macular Edema ( 5.4 ) 5.1 Pigmentation Omlonti (omidenepag isopropyl ophthalmic solution) 0.002%, is a prodrug of omidenepag, a relatively selective EP2 receptor agonist. Pigmentation is expected to increase as long as omidenepag isopropyl ophthalmic solution is administered. The pigmentation change is due to increased melanin content in the melanocytes rather than to an increase in the number of melanocytes. After discontinuation of Omlonti, pigmentation of the iris is likely to be permanent, while pigmentation of the periorbital tissue and eyelash changes are likely to be reversible in most patients. Patients who receive prostaglandin analogs, including Omlonti, should be informed of the possibility of increased pigmentation, including permanent changes. The long-term effects of increased pigmentation are not known. Iris color change may not be noticeable for several months to years. Typically, the brown pigmentation around the pupil spreads concentrically towards the periphery of the iris and the entire iris or parts of the iris become more brownish. Neither nevi nor freckles of the iris appear to be affected by treatment. While treatment with Omlonti (omidenepag isopropyl ophthalmic solution), 0.002% can be continued in patients who develop noticeably increased iris pigmentation, these patients should be examined regularly [see Patient Counseling Information (17) ] . 5.2 Eyelash Changes Omlonti may gradually change eyelashes and vellus hair in the treated eye. These changes include increased length, thickness, and the number of lashes or hairs. Eyelash changes are usually reversible upon discontinuation of treatment. 5.3 Ocular Inflammation Ocular inflammation has been reported in patients taking Omlonti. Omlonti should be used with caution in patients with active ocular inflammation, including iritis/uveitis. 5.4 Macular Edema Macular edema, including cystoid macular edema, has been reported during clinical trials in patients with pseudophakia receiving Omlonti. Omlonti should be used with caution in aphakic patients, in pseudophakic patients, or in patients with known risk factors for macular edema. 5.5 Risk of Contamination and Potential Injury to the Eye Advise patients to avoid touching the tip of the bottle to the eye or any surface, as this may contaminate the solution. Advise patients to not touch the tip to their eye to avoid the potential for injury to the eye.

Side effects

ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Pigmentation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Eyelash Changes [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Ocular Inflammation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Macular Edema [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] The most common adverse reactions with incidence ≥ 1% are conjunctival hyperemia (9%), photophobia (5%), vision blurred (4%), dry eye (3%), instillation site pain (3%), eye pain (2%), ocular hyperemia (2%), punctate keratitis (2%), headache (2%), eye irritation (1%), and visual impairment (1%). ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Ocuvex at 1-877-622-9326 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The data described below reflect exposure to Omlonti in 600 patients for up to 3 months . The most common adverse reactions with incidence ≥ 1% are conjunctival hyperemia (9%), photophobia (5%), vision blurred (4%), dry eye (3%), instillation site pain (3%), eye pain (2%), ocular hyperemia (2%), punctate keratitis (2%), headache (2%), eye irritation (1%), and visual impairment (1%).
