KNOW THE POTENTIAL RISKS OF COMPOUNDED PRODUCTS

The high quality standards in OMIDRIA meet your high standards

Unlike FDA-approved treatments, compounded intracameral medicines are not clinically evaluated for efficacy and safety¹⁻³

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the FDA recommend the use of an FDA-approved product when it is commercially available over the use of a compounded drug¹⁻³

Learn more about guidance from the FDA

Without evaluation and testing, compounded products pose the risk of quality issues as well as contamination¹⁻⁶

Complications can be associated with the quality of the product, dose miscalculation, or incorrect preparation on the part of the pharmacy¹⁻⁶

Compounded products carry potential liability risks for physicians and accreditation risks for surgical facilities³˒⁷
