is bound to help. The difference with Akorn's product? It doesn't have
to be refrigerated and it comes in 3 sizes: 2 ml and 15 ml vials of 2.5%
solution and a 5 ml vial of 10% solution. Akorn is promising to cut that
$70 price tag almost in half, at least for the 5 ml vial. Amazing what a
little competition can do.
Omeros
Omidria
Omeros' new FDA-approved combination
of phenylephrine and ketorolac is a useful
addition in a couple of ways. For one, drug
shortages have made phenylephrine hard
to find, but it's definitely a plus when it
comes to keeping
pupils dilated, espe-
cially with difficult
patients — for exam-
ple, those who take
Flomax, those with
small pupils and those
with pseudoexfolia-
tion. It comes in a 4
ml vial that can be
added directly to the
BSS solution. So
you're promoting dila-
tion as you irrigate
the eye, and the
ketorolac dramatically
reduces post-op pain.
