Vevye Drug Information

indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. VEVYE (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.1% is a calcineurin inhibitor immunosuppressant indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.

Recommended Dosage Instill one drop of

VEVYE twice a day in each eye approximately 12 hours apart.

Administration Instructions Wash hands before using. Gently pull the lower eyelid downward.

Tip the bottle upside down over the eye to allow one drop to dispense on its own into the eye. If a drop does not dispense after a few seconds, gently apply slight pressure to the sides of the bottle while holding over the eye. Note: You may not feel the drop falling into your eye.

If VEVYE is used with other eye drops, a 15-minute interval between products should occur.

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 clinical trials with 738 subjects receiving at least 1 dose of VEVYE, the most common adverse reactions were instillation site reactions (8%) and temporary decreases in visual acuity (3%).

Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of VEVYE administration in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. Oral administration of cyclosporine to pregnant rats or rabbits did not produce teratogenicity at clinically relevant doses VEVYE doses are approximately 4,700 times lower than recommended oral doses, with blood concentrations being undetectable after topical administration. Data Animal Data Oral administration of cyclosporine oral solution to pregnant rats or rabbits was teratogenic at maternally toxic doses of 30 mg/kg/day in rats and 100 mg/kg/day in rabbits, as indicated by increased pre- and postnatal mortality, reduced fetal weight and skeletal retardations.

These doses (normalized to body weight) were approximately 7,250 and 48,000 times higher than the daily maximum recommended human ophthalmic dose (MRHOD) of 0.67 mcg/kg/day, respectively. No adverse embryofetal effects were observed in rats or rabbits receiving cyclosporine during organogenesis at oral doses up to 17 mg/kg/day or 30 mg/kg/day, respectively (approximately 4,100 and 14,500 times higher than the MRHOD, respectively). An oral dose of 45 mg/kg/day cyclosporine (approximately 10,900 times higher than MRHOD) administered to rats from Day 15 of pregnancy until Day 21 postpartum produced maternal toxicity and an increase in postnatal mortality in offspring. No adverse effects in mothers or offspring were observed at oral doses of up to 15 mg/kg/day (3600 times greater than MRHOD).

Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 18 years have not been established.
