Instill one drop in each eye once daily. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of YUVEZZI is one drop in each eye once daily. 2.2 Administration Instructions Remove contact lenses prior to instillation of YUVEZZI. Wait 10 minutes after dosing before reinserting contact lenses. If more than one topical ophthalmic medication is being used, the medicines must be administered at least 5 minutes apart. One single-dose vial can be used to dose both eyes. Discard the open single-dose vial and any remaining contents immediately after use.

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in labeling: Hypersensitivity [see Contraindications (4) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence >5%) are eye pain upon instillation, visual impairment, eye irritation upon instillation, and headache. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Visus Therapeutics, Inc., at 1-888-735-0821 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. YUVEZZI was evaluated in 536 patients with presbyopia in two randomized, double-masked, controlled studies. BRIO™ I (NCT05270863) was a single-dose crossover study in which 178 patients received YUVEZZI. BRIO II (NCT05135286) included 358 patients who received YUVEZZI in the long-term safety portion of the study (up to 12 months duration, including a 6-month open-label extension). Adverse reactions reported in > 5% to 7% of participants were eye pain upon instillation and visual impairment. Adverse reactions reported in > 10% to 16% of participants were eye irritation upon instillation and headache. The majority of adverse events were mild, transient, and…

YUVEZZI is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the active ingredients or to any of the excipients. Hypersensitivity. ( 4 )

Systemic toxicity following topical ocular administration of carbachol is rare, but patients who are sensitive may occasionally develop sweating and gastrointestinal overactivity. Accidental ingestion can produce sweating, salivation, nausea, and a decrease in blood pressure. In moderate overdosage, spontaneous recovery is to be expected and is aided by intravenous fluids to compensate for dehydration. For patients demonstrating severe poisoning, use atropine, the pharmacologic antagonist to carbachol. Very limited information exists on accidental ingestion of brimonidine in adults; the only adverse reaction reported to date has been hypotension. Treatment of an oral overdose includes supportive and symptomatic therapy; a patent airway should be maintained.

Antihypertensives/cardiac glycosides may lower blood pressure. ( 7.1 ) Use with CNS depressants may result in an additive or potentiating effect. ( 7.2 ) Tricyclic antidepressants may potentially blunt the hypotensive effect of systemic clonidine. ( 7.3 ) Monoamine oxidase inhibitors may result in increased hypotension. ( 7.4 ) 7.1 Antihypertensives/Cardiac Glycosides Because brimonidine tartrate, a component of YUVEZZI, may reduce blood pressure, caution in using drugs such as antihypertensives and/or cardiac glycosides with YUVEZZI is advised. 7.2 CNS Depressants Although specific drug interaction studies have not been conducted with YUVEZZI, the possibility of an additive or potentiating effect with central nervous system (CNS) depressants (alcohol, opiates, barbiturates, sedatives, or anesthetics) should be considered. 7.3 Tricyclic Antidepressants Tricyclic antidepressants have been reported to blunt the hypotensive effect of systemic clonidine. It is not known whether the concurrent use of these agents with YUVEZZI in humans can lead to resulting interference with pupil constriction effects. Caution is advised in patients taking tricyclic antidepressants, which can affect the metabolism and uptake of circulating amines. 7.4 Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors may theoretically interfere with the metabolism of brimonidine tartrate and potentially result in an increased systemic side effect such as hypotension. Caution is advised in patients taking MAO inhibitors which can affect the metabolism and uptake of circulating amines.
