Macular oedema

The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) has accepted OZURDEXR (dexamethasone 700 microgram intravitreal implant) for use in the National Health Service in Scotland. The treatment is now accepted for use in adult patients with macular oedema following central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) who are not clinically suitable for laser treatment including patients with dense macular haemorrhage or patients who have received and failed on previous laser treatment, said a spokesman for Allergan.
