  • TissueBlue 0.025% - Dosage & Administration Section

    TissueBlue 0.025% is carefully injected into the Balanced Salt Solution (BSS)-filled vitreous cavity using a blunt cannula attached to the pre-filled syringe, without allowing the cannula to contact the retina or allowing TissueBlue to get under the retina. Sufficient staining is expected within a few seconds. Following staining, all excess dye should be removed from the vitreous cavity.

  • TissueBlue 0.025% - Dosage forms & Strengths section

    TissueBlue (Brilliant Blue G Ophthalmic Solution) 0.025% is a clear, bright blue, single-dose ophthalmic solution supplied in 2.25 mL syringes pre-filled to a volume of 0.5 mL.

  • TissueBlue 0.025% - Contraindications section

    None

  • TissueBlue 0.025% - Warnings and Precautions section

    Excessive Staining
    Excess TissueBlue 0.025% should be removed from the eye immediately after staining.

    Use of the Syringe
    Make sure the plunger moves smoothly before injecting the solution. Do not use the product if the plunger does not move smoothly to prime the cannula.

  • TissueBlue 0.025% - Adverse Reactions section

    Adverse reactions that have been reported in procedures that included the use of Brilliant Blue G Ophthalmic Solution have often been associated with the surgical procedure. These complications include retinal (retinal break, tear, hemorrhage, and detachment) and cataracts.

  • TissueBlue 0.025% - Use in specific populations section

    TissueBlue 0.025% - Pregnancy section

    Risk Summary
    There are no available data on the use of TissueBlue 0.025% in pregnant women to inform a drug associated risk. Systemic absorption of TissueBlue 0.025% in humans is expected to be negligible following intravitreal injection and subsequent removal of the drug at the completion of surgical procedures. Due to the negligible systemic exposure, it is not expected that maternal use of TissueBlue 0.025% will result in fetal exposure to the drug.


    Adequate animal reproduction studies were not conducted with TissueBlue 0.025%.

    TissueBlue 0.025% - Lactation section

    Risk Summary
    No data are available regarding the presence of Brilliant Blue G in human milk after intraocular administration of TissueBlue 0.025%, or the effects on the breastfed infant or the effects on milk production. However, breastfeeding is not expected to result in exposure of the child to Brilliant Blue G due to the expected negligible systemic exposure of BBG in humans following intravitreal injection and subsequent removal of the drug at the completion of surgical procedures.

    TissueBlue 0.025% - Pediatric use section

    The safety and effectiveness of TissueBlue 0.025% in pediatric patients has not been established.

    TissueBlue 0.025% - Geriatric use section
