General information about Dexycu
Dexycu (dexamethasone) is a long-acting, injectable corticosteroid formulation administered intraocularly into the posterior chamber of the eye for the treatment of postoperative inflammation associated with cataract surgery.
Dexycu delivers a biodegradable extended-release formulation of dexamethasone into the posterior chamber of the eye via a single injection at the end of surgery, eliminating the burden of self-administering medicated eye drops several times a day in a primarily elderly patient population.
