Thea Supplement: Use of Intracameral Cefuroxime
In 2007, results from the ESCRS Endophthalmitis Prophylaxis Study showed that intracameral cefuroxime significantly reduced the risk of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery [ESCRS Endophthalmitis Study Group. J Cataract Refract. Surg. 2007;33:978-988]. Then in 2012, a major obstacle to systematic intracameral use was eliminated when Aprokam® (cefuroxime 50mg powder for injection; Laboratoires Théa) was approved across Europe as the first and only product indicated for intracameral administration to prevent endophthalmitis after cataract surgery. As of September, 2014, this single-use agent is available in 23 European countries, with approval being sought elsewhere around the world. Download Supplement
