Adverse Reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious reactions are found elsewhere in the labeling: lntraocular Pressure (IOP) Increase [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.
1 )] Cataracts [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Delayed Healing [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] Corneal and Scleral Melting [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] Bacterial Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] Viral Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )] Fungal Infections [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.
7 )] For treatment of inflammation and pain associated with ocular surgery, most common adverse reactions (incidence 5% to 15%) are corneal edema, ciliary and conjunctival hyperemia, eye pain, photophobia, posterior capsule opacificalion, anterior chamber cells, anterior chamber flare, conjunctival edema, and blepharilis.
For treatment of endogenous anterior uveilis, most common adverse reactions (incidence 5% to 10%) are blurred vision, eye irritation, eye pain, headache, increased IOP, iritis, limbal and conjunctival hyperemia, punctate keratilis, and uveitis.

6.1 Ocular Surgery Ocular adverse reactions occurring in 5% to 15% of subjects in clinical studies with difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion (0.05%) included corneal edema, ciliary and conjunctival hyperemia, eye pain, photophobia, posterior capsule opacification, anterior chamber cells, anterior chamber flare, conjunctival edema, and blepharitis.
Other ocular adverse reactions occurring in 1% to 5% of subjects included reduced visual acuity, punctate keratitis, eye inflammation, and iritis.
Ocular adverse reactions occurring in less than 1% of subjects included application site discomfort or irritation, corneal pigmentation and striae, episcleritis, eye pruritis, eyelid irritation and crusting, foreign body sensation, increased lacrimation, macular edema, sclera hyperemia, and uveitis.
Most of these reactions may have been the consequence of the surgical procedure.
6.2 Endogenous Anterior Uveitis A total of 200 subjects participated in the clinical trials for endogenous anterior uveitis, of which 106 were exposed to difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion (0.05%).
The most common adverse reactions of those exposed to difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion (0.05%) occurring in 5% to 10 % of subjects included blurred vision, eye irritation, eye pain, headache, increased IOP, iritis, limbal and conjunctival hyperemia, punctate keratitis, and uveitis.
Adverse reactions occurring in 2% to 5 % of subjects included anterior chamber flare, corneal edema, dry eye, iridocyclitis, photophobia, and reduced visual acuity.
6.1 Ocular Surgery Ocular adverse reactions occurring in 5% to 15% of subjects in clinical studies with difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion (0.05%) included corneal edema, ciliary and conjunctival hyperemia, eye pain, photophobia, posterior capsule opacification, anterior chamber cells, anterior chamber flare, conjunctival edema, and blepharitis.
