Elevated intraocular pressure, open-angle glaucoma, ocular hypertension

Active Ingredient: Netarsudil

Indication for Netarsudil

Population group: only adults (18 years old or older)
Therapeutic intent: Curative procedure

Netarsudil is indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in adult patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:

1 drop once daily

Route of admnistration

Ophthalmic

Defined daily dose

1 - 1 {drops}

Dosage regimen

From 1 To 1 {drops} once every day

Detailed description

The recommended dosage is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. Patients should not instill more than one drop in the affected eye(s) each day.

If one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next dose in the evening.

Dosage considerations

No data on potential interactions specific to netarsudil is currently available. If netarsudil is to be used concomitantly with other topical ophthalmic medicinal products, each medicinal product should be administered at least five (5) minutes apart. Due to netarsudil’s vasodilating properties, other eye drops should be administered before. Eye ointments should be administered last.

Contact lenses should be removed prior to instillation of netarsudil and may be reinserted 15 minutes following its administration.

The tip of the dispensing container should avoid contacting the eye, surrounding structures, fingers, or any other surface in order to avoid contamination of the solution. Serious damage to the eye and subsequent loss of vision may result from using contaminated solutions.

Active ingredient

Netarsudil

Netarsudil, a Rho kinase inhibitor, is believed to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing outflow of aqueous humor. Studies in animal and man suggest that the main mechanism of action is increased trabecular outflow. These studies also suggest that netarsudil lowers IOP by reducing episcleral venous pressure.
