Allergan has announced the launch of Ozurdex (dexamethasone intravitreal implant 0.7mg) in China for the treatment of adult patients with macular oedema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Ozurdex is the first approved intravitreal injection for RVO in China and is licensed for the treatment of macular oedema following BRVO and CRVO. “Providing millions of RVO patients access to Ozurdex is a significant step towards preventing blindness and meeting a critical unmet need in China,” said Marc Princen, Allergan International President. http://www.allergan.com/
