Alcon’s Triesence receives FDA approval for eye surgery

Switzerland-based eye-care company Alcon has said that the FDA has approved Triesence injectable suspension 40mg/mL, a preservative-free synthetic corticosteroid for visualization, during vitrectomy and treatment of sympathetic ophthalmia, temporal arteritis, uveitis and ocular inflammatory conditions unresponsive to topical corticosteroids.

Alcon says the active ingredient in Triesence, triamcinolone acetonide, has been used for many years to treat retinal disease.

The company said that this new approval brings ophthalmologists a sterile, preservative-free formulation of the compound specifically developed for use in the eye to treat various retinal inflammatory conditions.
