Adverse reactions (label)
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Most common adverse reaction is mydriasis (approximately 25%) ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Harrow at 844.446.6979 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 201 patients undergoing various surgical ocular procedures in two placebo-controlled trials (Study 1 and Study 2). Patients in Study 1 were randomized to receive a single instillation of 3 drops of IHEEZO TM or placebo. Patients in Study 2 were randomized to receive a single or multiple instillations of 1, 3 or 3+3 drops of IHEEZO TM or placebo. The most common adverse reactions in these studies, (incidence greater than or equal to 5%) following IHEEZO TM administration were mydriasis, conjunctival hyperemia and eye irritation. Adverse Reactions Reported in Controlled Trials Table 1. Adverse Reactions in 5% or more of IHEEZO TM Treated Patients in Studies 1 and 2 IHEEZO TM Placebo Preferred Term N=151 n (%) N=50 n (%) Mydriasis 39 (26%) 1 (2%) Conjunctival hyperemia 16 (11%) 6 (12%) Eye irritation 9 (6%) 2 (4%)
