Indications and Usage
Visudyne® (verteporfin for injection) is indicated for the treatment of predominantly classic
subfoveal choroidal neovascularization due to age-related macular degeneration, pathologic
myopia, or presumed ocular histoplasmosis.
There is insufficient evidence to indicate Visudyne® for the treatment of predominantly occult
subfoveal choroidal neovascularization.
Important Safety Information
Visudyne is contraindicated for patients with porphyria or known hypersensitivity to any
component of Visudyne.
Infusion-related transient back pain occurred with Visudyne only. Verteporfin infusion induces
temporary photosensitivity; patients should avoid exposure of skin and eyes to direct sunlight
or bright indoor light for 5 days. To prevent extravasation, avoid fragile hand veins in favor
of larger antecubital veins.
Severe vision decrease (≥4 lines) was reported within 7 days in 1% to 5% of patients. Partial recovery
occurs in some patients. Do not re-treat these patients until vision completely recovers to pretreatment
levels and potential benefits and risks of subsequent treatment are carefully weighed.
The most frequently reported adverse events (10% to 30% incidence) were injection site
reactions (including extravasation and rashes), blurred vision, decreased visual acuity, and visual
field defects.
