Nemera’s multidose eye dropper Novelia® has been approved for the preservative-free formulation Cosopt iMulti®
There is an innovation in glaucoma management by providing preservative-free medicines in multi-dose bottles to allow for effective and convenient, 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) control to glaucoma patients aged 18 or over.
“We are delighted to launch preservative-free multi-dose formulations of these glaucoma therapies in Europe,” said Luis Iglesias, Corporate Officer and Head of EMEA, Santen. “By providing highly effective and well-tolerated, preservative-free medicines, with the option for multi-dose bottles, we hope to empower patients in their daily lives and improve the management of their condition.”
“Patient adherence is the key for success for all treatments, especially silent chronic ophthalmic diseases. This is why, at Nemera, we developed an innovative system combining all patient needs: a safe preservative-free multi-dose bottle with a blue tip that makes consistent drops one by one” commented Fanny Sellier, Global Category Manager for Ophthalmic Products, Nemera.
The importance of preservative-free
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) outlines that preservatives should be avoided in patients who are on long-term treatment, or do not tolerate preserved eye drops.
Switching from preserved to preservative-free topical ocular medications can diminish the harmful effects caused by preservatives. For example, switching to Cosopt preservative-free improved local ocular tolerability for 85% of patients compared with their previous preserved medication
