VYZULTA: 2.5 and 5 mL Bottles are Available

VYZULTA — One Molecule. Two Pathways. Proven IOP Reduction.

VYZULTA (latanoprostene bunod ophthalmic solution), 0.024%, is indicated for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.1

There is no A/B generic equivalent for VYZULTA.

VYZULTA TARGETS BOTH PATHWAYS FOR IOP REDUCTION
  • Elevated lOP is largely due to cellular contraction in the presence of increased extracellular matrix deposition in the trabecular meshwork leading to decreased aqueous humor outflow
  • VYZULTA works to reduce lOP by increasing outflow through two pathways—the trabecular meshwork (primary outflow pathway) and the uveoscleral pathway (secondary pathway)2-4

VYZULTA is metabolized into two moieties1,5,6

  • Latanoprost acid, a prostaglandin analog, works primarily within the uveoscleral pathway2,7
  • Butanediol mononitrate releases nitric oxide, which is thought to relax the trabecular meshwork8-11

Nitric oxide plays a role in controlling IOP8-11

  • Evidence of reduced levels of nitric oxide have been found in glaucoma patients' eyes12-14
  • A key role of endogenous nitric oxide is vascular smooth muscle relaxation to regulate blood flow

VYZULTA — PROVEN EFFICACY

VYZULTA QD achieved the primary objective of noninferiority to timolol 0.5% BID at all tested time points in 2 well-controlled, phase 3 clinical trials*

  • Superior IOP lowering with VYZULTA was demonstrated at Month 3
  • IOP-lowering effect was up to 7.5 to 9.1 mmHg in patients with an average baseline IOP of 26.7 mmHg1,15-17

*Primary endpoint: IOP measured at 9 assessment time points in study eye. Secondary endpoints: Change from baseline (CFB) in IOP at 9 assessment time points; CFB in diurnal IOP at Weeks 2 and 6 and Month 3. APOLLO study: VYZULTA 0.024% (n=284), timolol 0.5% (n=133); LUNAR study: VYZULTA 0.024% (n=274), timolol 0.5% (n=136).

P values obtained from superiority analysis (P<0.05, both studies).

VYZULTA (LBN 0.024%) demonstrated statistically significant greater mean IOP reduction compared with XALATAN (latanoprost) 0.005% at Day 2818‡

  • In the VOYAGER Phase 2 dose-ranging study, VYZULTA (LBN 0.024%) lowered mean diurnal IOP by 1.23 mmHg more than XALATAN (latanoprost) 0.005% at Day 28

Primary efficacy endpoint: Reduction in mean diurnal IOP at Day 28. VOYAGER study: once daily in the evening: LBN 0.024% (n=83), XALATAN (latanoprost) 0.005% (n=82; P=0.005).

INDICATION

VYZULTA® (latanoprostene bunod ophthalmic solution), 0.024% is indicated for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 
  • Increased pigmentation of the iris and periorbital tissue (eyelid) can occur. Iris pigmentation is likely to be permanent
  • Gradual changes to eyelashes, including increased length, increased thickness, and number of eyelashes, may occur. These changes are usually reversible upon treatment discontinuation
  • Use with caution in patients with a history of intraocular inflammation (iritis/uveitis). VYZULTA should generally not be used in patients with active intraocular inflammation
  • Macular edema, including cystoid macular edema, has been reported during treatment with prostaglandin analogs. Use with caution in aphakic patients, in pseudophakic patients with a torn posterior lens capsule, or in patients with known risk factors for macular edema
  • There have been reports of bacterial keratitis associated with the use of multiple-dose containers of topical ophthalmic products that were inadvertently contaminated by patients
  • Contact lenses should be removed prior to the administration of VYZULTA and may be reinserted 15 minutes after administration
  • Most common ocular adverse reactions with incidence ≥2% are conjunctival hyperemia (6%), eye irritation (4%), eye pain (3%), and instillation site pain (2%)
