Preparation and administration

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Omidria must be diluted prior to intraocular use. For administration to patients undergoing cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement, 4 mL of Omidria is diluted in 500 mL of ocular irrigating solution. Irrigation solution is to be used as needed for the surgical procedure for a single patient.

The storage period for the diluted product is not more than 4 hours at room temperature or 24 hours under refrigerated conditions. Do not use if the solution is cloudy or if it contains particulate matter. Each vial of OMIDRIA must be diluted prior to use for administration to a single patient undergoing cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement.

Dilute 4 mL of OMIDRIA in 500 mL of ocular irrigating solution. Irrigation solution is to be used as needed for the surgical procedure.

Contraindications

Pregnancy and lactation

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on Omidria use in pregnant women or animals to inform any drug-associated risks. Oral administration of ketorolac to rats during late gestation produced dystocia and increased pup mortality at a dose 740-times the plasma exposure at the recommended human ophthalmic dose (RHOD). Since human systemic exposure to Omidria following a lens replacement procedure is low [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ) ], the applicability of animal findings to the risk of Omidria in humans during pregnancy is unclear. Omidria should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Premature closure of the ductus arteriosus in the fetus has occurred with third trimester use of oral and injectable NSAIDs. Ketorolac plasma concentrations are detectable following ocular Omidria administration [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . The use of Omidria during late pregnancy should be avoided. Data Animal Data No well-controlled animal reproduction studies have been conducted with Omidria or phenylephrine. Ketorolac, administered during organogenesis, did not cause embryofetal abnormalities or mortalities in rabbits or rats at oral doses of 3.6 mg/kg/day and 10 mg/kg/day, respectively.

These doses produced systemic exposure that is 1150 times and 4960 times the plasma exposure (based on C max ) at the RHOD, respectively. When administered to rats during late gestation (after Day 17 of gestation) at oral doses up to 1.5 mg/kg/day (740 times the plasma exposure at the RHOD) , ketorolac produced dystocia and increased pup mortality.
