Drug Details [pdf]

  • 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

    IYUZEH ™ (latanoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.005% is indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

  • 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

    The recommended dosage is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. If one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next dose as normal.

    The dosage of IYUZEH should not exceed once daily; the combined use of two or more prostaglandins, or prostaglandin analogs including IYUZEH is not recommended. It has been shown that administration of these prostaglandin drug products more than once daily may decrease the IOP lowering effect or cause paradoxical elevations in IOP.

    Reduction of the IOP starts approximately 3 to 4 hours after administration and the maximum effect is reached after 8 to 12 hours.

    IYUZEH may be used concomitantly with other topical ophthalmic drug products to lower IOP. In vitro studies have shown that precipitation occurs when eye drops containing thimerosal are mixed with the preserved 0.005% latanoprost reference product. If more than one topical ophthalmic drug is being used, the drugs should be administered at least five (5) minutes apart. Contact lenses should be removed prior to the administration of IYUZEH and may be reinserted 15 minutes after administration.

    The solution from one individual unit is to be used immediately after opening for administration to one or both eyes. Since sterility cannot be maintained after the individual unit is opened, the remaining contents should be discarded immediately after administration.

  • 3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

    Ophthalmic solution: opalescent, white to slightly yellow solution containing latanoprost 0.005% (50 mcg/mL).

  • 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

    Known hypersensitivity to latanoprost or any other ingredients in this product.

  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    5.1 Pigmentation

    Topical latanoprost ophthalmic products, including IYUZEH have been reported to cause changes to pigmented tissues. The most frequently reported changes have been increased pigmentation of the iris, periorbital tissue (eyelid), and eyelashes. Pigmentation is expected to increase as long as latanoprost is administered.

    The pigmentation change is due to increased melanin content in the melanocytes rather than to an increase in the number of melanocytes. After discontinuation of latanoprost, pigmentation of the iris is likely to be permanent, while pigmentation of the periorbital tissue and eyelash changes have been reported to be reversible in some patients. Patients who receive treatment should be informed of the possibility of increased pigmentation. The long-term effects of increased pigmentation are not known.

    Iris color change may not be noticeable for several months to years. Typically, the brown pigmentation around the pupil spreads concentrically towards the periphery of the iris and the entire iris or parts of the iris become more brownish. Neither nevi nor freckles of the iris appear to be affected by treatment. While treatment with IYUZEH can be continued in patients who develop noticeably increased iris pigmentation, these patients should be examined regularly.

    5.2 Eyelash Changes

    Latanoprost ophthalmic products, including IYUZEH may gradually change eyelashes and vellus hair in the treated eye; these changes include increased length, thickness, pigmentation, the number of lashes or hairs, and misdirected growth of eyelashes. Eyelash changes are usually reversible upon discontinuation of treatment.

    5.3 Intraocular Inflammation

    IYUZEH should be used with caution in patients with a history of intraocular inflammation (iritis/uveitis) and should generally not be used in patients with active intraocular inflammation because inflammation may be exacerbated.

    5.4 Macular Edema

    Macular edema, including cystoid macular edema, has been reported during treatment with latanoprost ophthalmic products, including IYUZEH. IYUZEH should be used with caution in aphakic patients, in pseudophakic patients with a torn posterior lens capsule, or in patients with known risk factors for macular edema.

    5.5 Herpetic Keratitis

    Reactivation of herpes simplex keratitis has been reported during treatment with latanoprost. IYUZEH should be used with caution in patients with a history of herpetic keratitis. IYUZEH should be avoided in cases of active herpes simplex keratitis because inflammation may be exacerbated.

    5.6 Contact Lens Use

    Contact lenses should be removed prior to the administration of IYUZEH and may be reinserted 15 minutes after administration.

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    The following adverse reactions have been reported with the use of topical latanoprost products and are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the label:

    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.

    In the two clinical trials conducted with IYUZEH (latanoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.005% comparing it to XALATAN the preserved 0.005% latanoprost reference product, the most frequently reported ocular adverse reactions were conjunctival hyperemia and eye irritation ( Table 1).

    6.2 Postmarketing Experience

    The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of topical latanoprost products. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. The reactions, which have been chosen for inclusion due to either their seriousness, frequency of reporting, possible causal connection to ophthalmic latanoprost products, or a combination of these factors, include:

    • Nervous System Disorders: Dizziness; headache; toxic epidermal necrolysis
    • Eye Disorders: Eyelash and vellus hair changes of the eyelid (increased length, thickness, pigmentation, and number of eyelashes); keratitis; corneal edema and erosions; intraocular inflammation (iritis/uveitis); macular edema, including cystoid macular edema; trichiasis; periorbital and lid changes resulting in deepening of the eyelid sulcus; iris cyst; eyelid skin darkening; localized skin reaction on the eyelids; conjunctivitis; pseudopemphigoid of the ocular conjunctiva.
    • Respiratory, Thoracic and Mediastinal Disorders: Asthma and exacerbation of asthma; dyspnea
    • Gastrointesting Disorders: Nausea; vomiting
    • Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Pruritis
    • Infections and Infestations: Herpes keratitis
    • Cardiac Disorders: Angina; palpitations; angina unstable
    • General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: Chest pain
  • 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

    The combined use of two or more prostaglandins, or prostaglandin analogs including IYUZEH is not recommended. It has been shown that administration of these prostaglandin drug products more than once daily may decrease the IOP lowering effect or cause paradoxical elevations in IOP.

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Risk Summary

    There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of IYUZEH administration in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risks.

    In animal reproduction studies, intravenous (IV) administration of latanoprost to pregnant rabbits and rats throughout the period of organogenesis produced malformations, embryofetal lethality and spontaneous abortion at clinically relevant doses (equivalent to 1.3 – 324 times the maximum recommended human ophthalmic dose, on a mg/m 2 basis, assuming 100% absorption) (see Data) .

    The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. However, the background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2 to 4%, and of miscarriage is 15 to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies.

    Data
    Animal Data
    Embryofetal studies were conducted in pregnant rabbits administered latanoprost daily by IV injection on gestation days 6 through 18, to target the period of organogenesis. A no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was not established for rabbit developmental toxicity. Post-implantation loss due to late resorption was shown as doses ≥0.2 mcg/kg/day (equivalent to 1.3 times the maximum recommended human ophthalmic dose [RHOD], on a mg/m 2 basis, assuming 100% absorption). Spina bifida and abortion occurred at 5 mcg/kg/day (equivalent to 32 times the maximum RHOD). Total litter loss due to early resorption was observed at doses ≥50 mcg/kg/day (324 times the maximum RHOD). Transient signs of maternal toxicity were observed after IV dosing (increased breathing, muscle tremors, slight motor incoordination) at 300 mcg/kg/day (1946 times the maximum RHOD). No maternal toxicity was observed at doses up to 50 mcg/kg/day.

    Embryofetal studies were conducted in pregnant rats administered latanoprost daily by IV injection on gestation days 6 through 15, to target the period of organogenesis. A NOAEL for rat developmental toxicity was not established. Cleft palate was observed at 1 mcg/kg (equivalent to 3.2 times the maximum RHOD, on a mg/m 2 basis, assuming 100% absorption). Brain porencephalic cyst(s) were observed ≥50 mcg/kg (162 times the maximum RHOD). Skeletal anomalies were observed at 250 mcg/kg (811 times the maximum RHOD). No maternal toxicity was detectable at 250 mcg/kg/day.

    Prenatal and postnatal development was assessed in rats. Pregnant rats were administered latanoprost daily by IV injection from gestation day 15, through delivery, until weaning (lactation Day 21). No adverse effects on rat offspring were observed at doses up to 10 mcg/kg/day (32 times the maximum RHOD, on a mg/m2 basis, assuming 100% absorption). At 100 mcg/kg/day (324 times the maximum RHOD), maternal deaths and pup mortality occurred.

    8.2 Lactation

    Risk Summary

    It is not known whether this drug or its metabolites are excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when IYUZEH is administered to a nursing woman.

    The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for IYUZEH and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from IYUZEH.

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    The safety and effectiveness of IYUZEH have not been established in pediatric patients.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    No overall differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between elderly and younger adult patients.

  • 10 OVERDOSAGE

    Intravenous infusion of up to 3 mcg/kg of latanoprost in healthy volunteers produced mean plasma concentrations 200 times higher than during clinical treatment with latanoprost ophthalmic solution and no adverse reactions were observed. IV dosages of 5.5 to 10 mcg/kg caused abdominal pain, dizziness, fatigue, hot flushes, nausea, and sweating.

  • 11 DESCRIPTION

    Latanoprost is a prostaglandin F 2α analogue. Its chemical name is isopropyl-(Z)-7[(1R,2R,3R,5S)3,5dihydroxy-2-[(3R)-3-hydroxy-5-phenylpentyl]cyclopentyl]-5-heptenoate. Its molecular formula is C 26H 40O 5 and its chemical structure is:

    chemstructure

    Latanoprost is a colorless to yellow oil that is very soluble in acetonitrile and freely soluble in ethanol, ethyl acetate, and methanol. It is practically insoluble in water and hexanes.

    IYUZEH (latanoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.005% is supplied as a sterile, isotonic, aqueous solution of latanoprost with a pH of approximately 7 and an osmolality of approximately 280 mOsmol/kg. Each mL of IYUZEH contains 50 mcg of latanoprost. The inactive ingredients are: polyoxyl 40 hydrogenated castor oil, sorbitol, carbomer 974P, polyethylene glycol 4000, disodium edetate, sodium hydroxide (for pH-adjustment) and water for injections. One drop contains approximately 1.5 mcg of latanoprost.

    IYUZEH does not contain a preservative.

  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    12.1 Mechanism of Action

    Latanoprost is a prostaglandin F 2α analogue that is believed to reduce the IOP by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor. Studies in animals and man suggest that the main mechanism of action is increased uveoscleral outflow. Elevated IOP represents a major risk factor for glaucomatous field loss. The higher the level of IOP, the greater the likelihood of optic nerve damage and visual field loss.

    12.2 Pharmacodynamics

    Reduction of the IOP in man starts about 3-4 hours after administration and maximum effect is reached after 8-12 hours. IOP reduction is present for at least 24 hours.

    12.3 Pharmacokinetics

    Absorption

    Latanoprost is absorbed through the cornea where the isopropyl ester prodrug is hydrolyzed to the acid form to become biologically active.

    Distribution

    The distribution volume in humans is 0.16 ± 0.02 L/kg. The acid of latanoprost can be measured in aqueous humor during the first 4 hours, and in plasma only during the first hour after local administration. Studies in man indicate that the peak concentration in the aqueous humor is reached about two hours after topical administration.

    Elimination

    Metabolism

    Latanoprost, an isopropyl ester prodrug, is hydrolyzed by esterases in the cornea to the biologically active acid. The active acid of latanoprost reaching the systemic circulation is primarily metabolized by the liver to the 1,2-dinor and 1,2,3,4-tetranor metabolites via fatty acid β-oxidation.

    Excretion

    The elimination of the acid of latanoprost from human plasma is rapid (t 1/2 = 17 min) after both IV and topical administration. Systemic clearance is approximately 7 mL/min/kg. Following hepatic β-oxidation, the metabolites are mainly eliminated via the kidneys. Approximately 88% and 98% of the administered dose are recovered in the urine after topical and IV dosing, respectively.

  • 13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

    13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

    Carcinogenesis

    Latanoprost was not carcinogenic in either mice or rats when administered by oral gavage at doses of up to 170 mcg/kg/day (approximately 2800 times the recommended maximum human dose) for up to 20 and 24 months, respectively.

    Mutagenesis

    Latanoprost was not mutagenic in bacteria, in mouse lymphoma, or in mouse micronucleus tests. Chromosome aberrations were observed in vitro with human lymphocytes. Additional in vitro and in vivo studies on unscheduled DNA synthesis in rats were negative.

    Impairment of Fertility

    Latanoprost has not been found to have any effect on male or female fertility in rat studies at IV doses up to 250 mcg/kg/day (811 times the maximum RHOD, on a mg/m 2 basis, assuming 100% absorption).

  • 14 CLINICAL STUDIES

    14.1 Elevated Baseline IOP

    In randomized, controlled clinical trials of patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension with mean baseline IOP of 19 - 24 mmHg, IYUZEH lowered IOP by 3 – 8 mmHg versus 4 – 8 mmHg by latanoprost ophthalmic solution preserved with benzalkonium chloride. Latanoprost ophthalmic solution preserved with benzalkonium chloride was approximately 1 mmHg more effective than IYUZEH.

  • 16 HOW SUPPLIED/STORAGE AND HANDLING

    IYUZEH (latanoprost ophthalmic solution) is an opalescent, isotonic, white to slightly yellow solution of latanoprost 50 mcg/mL (0.005%) practically free from foreign particles.

    It is supplied as a sterile solution in translucent low-density polyethylene single-dose container packaged in foil pouches (5 single-dose containers per pouch).

    Storage:

    Store at 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F).

    Store in the original pouch. After the pouch is opened, the single-dose containers may be stored in the opened foil pouch for up to 30 days at room temperature 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F).

    Patient should be advised to write down the date the foil pouch is opened in the space provided on the pouch.

    Discard any unused containers 30 days after first opening the pouch.

  • 17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

    Potential for Pigmentation

    Advise patients about the potential for increased brown pigmentation of the iris, which may be permanent. Inform patients about the possibility of eyelid skin darkening, which may be reversible after discontinuation of IYUZEH.

    Potential for Eyelash Changes

    Inform patients of the possibility of eyelash and vellus hair changes in the treated eye during treatment with latanoprost ophthalmic solution. These changes may result in a disparity between eyes in length, thickness, pigmentation, number of eyelashes or vellus hairs, and/or direction of eyelash growth. Eyelash changes are usually reversible upon discontinuation of treatment.

    Handling the Container

    Advise patients that IYUZEH is a sterile solution that does not contain a preservative. The drops are supplied in single-dose container. The solution from one individual container is to be used immediately after opening for administration to one or both eyes. Since sterility cannot be maintained after the individual container is opened, the remaining contents should be discarded immediately after administration. Open a new single-dose container every time you use IYUZEH.

    When to Seek Physician Advice

    Advise patients that if they develop an intercurrent ocular condition (e.g., trauma or infection) or have ocular surgery, or develop any ocular reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, they should immediately seek their physician’s advice concerning the continued use of IYUZEH.

    Contact Lens Use

    Advise patients that contact lenses should be removed prior to administration of the solution. Lenses may be reinserted 15 minutes following administration of IYUZEH.

    Use with Other Ophthalmic Drugs

    Advise patients that if more than one topical ophthalmic drug is being used, the drugs should be administered at least five (5) minutes apart.

    If a Dose is Missed

    Advise patients that if one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next dose as normal.

    (latanoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.005%

    For topical ophthalmic use

    What is IYUZEH?

    IYUZEH is a prescription sterile eye drop solution which does not contain a preservative. IYUZEH is used to lower the pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure) in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension when their eye pressure is too high. IYUZEH belongs to a group of medicines called prostaglandin analogs.

    It is not known if IYUZEH is safe and effective in children.

    Do not use IYUZEH if you are allergic to latanoprost or any of the ingredients in IYUZEH. See the end of this Patient Information leaflet for a complete list of ingredients in IYUZEH.

    Before you use IYUZEH, tell your doctor if you:

    • have or have had eye problems including any surgery on your eye or eyes
    • are using any other eye medicines
    • have any other medical problems
    • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if IYUZEH will harm your unborn baby. If you become pregnant while using IYUZEH talk to your doctor right away.
    • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if IYUZEH passes into your breast milk. Talk to your doctor about the best way to feed your baby if you use IYUZEH.

    Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

    Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of them to show your doctor and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

    How should I take IYUZEH?

    Read the Instructions for Use at the end of this Patient Information leaflet for additional instructions about the right way to use IYUZEH.

    • Use 1 drop of IYUZEH in your eye (or eyes) each evening. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure how to use IYUZEH.
    • Your IYUZEH may not work as well if you use it more than 1 time each evening.
    • If you miss a dose of IYUZEH, skip the missed dose and take the next dose at your regular time.
    • If you use other medicines in your eye, wait at least 5 minutes between using IYUZEH and your other eye medicines.
    • Contact lenses should be taken out before using IYUZEH and you should wait at least 15 minutes after giving the dose of IYUZEH before putting the contact lenses back into your eyes.

    What are the possible side effects of IYUZEH?

    IYUZEH may cause serious side effects including:

    • changes in the color of your eye (iris). Your iris may become more brown in color while using IYUZEH. This color change may not go away when you stop using IYUZEH. If IYUZEH is used in 1 eye only, the color of that eye may always be a different color from the color of your other eye.
    • darkening of the color of the skin around your eye (eyelid). These skin changes usually go away when you stop using IYUZEH.
    • increasing the length, thickness, color, or number of your eyelashes. These eyelash changes usually go away when you stop using IYUZEH.
    • hair growth on your eyelids. This hair growth usually goes away when you stop using IYUZEH.

    The most common side effects of IYUZEH include:
    • redness of and around the eye (conjunctival hyperemia)
    • eye irritation
    • eye itching
    • abnormal sensation in the eye
    • foreign body sensation in the eye
    • blurry vision
    • increase of tears in the eye (increased lacrimation)

    Tell your doctor right away if you have any new eye problems while using IYUZEH, including:

    • an eye injury
    • an eye infection
    • a sudden loss of vision
    • eye surgery
    • swelling and redness of and around your eye (conjunctivitis)
