FDA Approved: Yes (First approved October 22, 2021)

Treatment for: Macular Edema, Uveitis

Xipere (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension) for suprachoroidal use is a corticosteroid indicated for the treatment of macular edema associated with uveitis.

  • Corticosteroids such as triamcinolone acetonide are the standard of care in uveitis and are effective at treating the inflammatory aspect of ocular disease. Approximately one-third of uveitis patients develop uveitic macular edema, a build-up of fluid in the macula which causes retinal swelling and distorted vision, and may lead to permanent vision loss.
  • Xipere is administered via the SCS Microinjector® to provide targeted delivery into the suprachoroidal space in the back of the eye. Targeted delivery means the drug has the potential to act for a longer period of time, while minimizing harm to the surrounding healthy parts of the eye.
  • Common adverse reactions include elevated intraocular pressure and eye pain.
