IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
When Not to Use OZURDEX®
OZURDEX® should not be used if you have any infections in or around the eyes,
including most viral diseases of the cornea and conjunctiva, including active
herpes viral infection of the eye, vaccinia, varicella, mycobacterial
infections, and fungal diseases.

Warnings and Precautions
Injections into the vitreous in the eye, including those with OZURDEX®, are
associated with serious eye infection (endophthalmitis), eye inflammation,
increased eye pressure, and retinal detachments. Your eye doctor should monitor
you regularly after the injection.
Use of corticosteroids including OZURDEX® may produce posterior subcapsular
cataracts, increased eye pressure, glaucoma, and may increase the establishment
of secondary eye infections due to bacteria, fungi, or viruses. Let your doctor
know if you have a history of ocular herpes simplex as corticosteroids are not
recommended in these patients.
Common Side Effects in Diabetic Macular Edema
The most common side effects reported in patients with diabetic macular edema
include: cataract, increased eye pressure, conjunctival blood spot, reduced
vision, inflammation of the conjunctiva, specks that float in the field of
vision, swelling of the conjunctiva, dry eye, vitreous detachment, vitreous
opacities, retinal aneurysm, foreign body sensation, corneal erosion,
inflammation of the cornea, anterior chamber inflammation, retinal tear,
drooping eyelid, high blood pressure, and bronchitis.
Common Side Effects in Retinal Vein Occlusion and Uveitis
The most common side effects reported in patients for retinal vein occlusion and
uveitis include: increased eye pressure, conjunctival blood spot, eye pain, eye
redness, ocular hypertension, cataract, vitreous detachment, and headache.
Patient Counseling Information

After repeated injections with OZURDEX®, a cataract may occur. If this occurs,
your vision will decrease and you will need an operation to remove the cataract
and restore your vision. You may develop increased eye pressure with OZURDEX®
that will need to be managed with eye drops, and rarely, with surgery.

In the days following injection with OZURDEX®, you may be at risk for potential
complications including in particular, but not limited to, the development of
serious eye infection or increased eye pressure. If your eye becomes red,
sensitive to light, painful, or develops a change in vision, you should seek
immediate care from your eye doctor. You may experience temporary visual
blurring after receiving an injection and should not drive or use machinery
until your vision has resolved.
