`solution) 0.07 percent prescription eye drop. an iinova ive oncedaily rionsteroidal anti—inflammatory dmg (NSAID) for he
`treatment of postoperative inflammation and reduction of ocular pain in patients who have undergone cataract surgery. m
`PROLENSA wil be available in 1.6ml and 3rnl bot le sizes.
`ll
`
`PROLENSA provides powerful and rapid resolution of inflammation and pain by leveraging the unique potency of the
`brornfenac molecule it a formulation designed to facilitate ocular penetration. The advanced formulation allows for a lower
`concentration of bromfenac in a once daily dosing regimen. PROLENSA is a solution that does not require shaking to deliver
`a consistent dose in each drop.
`
`“The data show that once—daiy dosing with PROLENSA provides powerful and rapid control of inflammation and pain
`following cataract surgery, conflming the potency of this NSAID and he benefits of the new formulation,‘ said Steven M.
`Silverstein, M.D., FACS, founder of Silverstein Eye Centers it Kansas City, MO. ‘PROLENSA reduces the amount of
`medication placed on the healing eye while maintaining a high degree of elficacy and ocular comfort.‘
`
`The etticacy of PROLENSA was evahated in two randomized, doublemasked, vehicle—controlled studies of patients
`undergoing cataract surgery. Each randomized pa ient received PROLENSA or vehicle starting with one drop into the
`surgical eye on the day priorto and the day of surgery, and for 14 days following surgery. The primary etlicacy endpoint was
`complete clearing of ocular inflammation (assessed by the summed ocular inflammation score, SOIS, which includes cells
`and flare) by day 15. The secondary efficacy endpoiit was the number of subjects hat were pair free on day one after
`surgery.
`
`Results from the pivotal studies demonstrated PROLENSA to be superior to vehicle in the treatment of both inflammation and
`pain following cataract surgery. Twice as many patients as vehicle (46 percent versus 20 percent) demonstrated complete
`clearance of inflamma ion (SOIS of 0) at day 15. The difference in the average post—operative inflammation severity between
`the treatment and vehicle arms was statistically and cliiically significant by day eight. Nearty four of five patients treated wi h
`PROLENSA were pain free at day one (78.8 percent versus 49.5 percent for vehicle; p<l).0001). Patients treated with
`PROLENSA reported a lower incidence of foreign body sensa ion and photophobia and had less redness than those treated
`with vehicle.
`
`‘Bausch + Lomb is committed to delivering innovative therapeu ic options to eye care professionals and the patients they
`serve, and he advanced formulation used for PROLENSA embodies that cornmitrnent,' said Dan Wechsler, executive vice
`president and president, Bausch + Lomb Global Pharrnaceu icals. ‘We look forward to bringing this next evolu ion of the
`groundbreaking bromfenac franchise to our customers very soon.‘
`
`PROLENSA Dosage and Administration

`Instil one drop into the affected eye once daily begiining one day prior to surgery, continued on the day of surgery, and
`through the first 14 days post surgery.
