Should not be used by the patient without physician supervision, or in those persons showing hypersensitivity to any component of this preparation.

For topical ophthalmic use only.  Not for parenteral use.  Not for injection.  Do not use solution if it contains crystals or if it is cloudy or discolored.  Prolonged use results in diminished duration of anesthesia and retarded healing.  This may cause the drug to be used more frequently, creating a "vicious circle".  Subsequent corneal infection and/or corneal opacification with accompanying permanent visual loss or corneal perforation may occur.  Prolonged use may also product severe keratitis.

Clinical Information

Chemical Structure

No Image found
Clinical Pharmacology

Tetracaine Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution, USP 0.5% acts by decreasing the permeability of the neuronal membrane, thereby decreasing the flux of sodium, potassium and other ions associated with propagation of the nerve impulse.  The onset of anesthesia usually begins within 30 seconds and lasts a relatively short period of time.

Non-Clinical Toxicology
Should not be used by the patient without physician supervision, or in those persons showing hypersensitivity to any component of this preparation.

For topical ophthalmic use only.  Not for parenteral use.  Not for injection.  Do not use solution if it contains crystals or if it is cloudy or discolored.  Prolonged use results in diminished duration of anesthesia and retarded healing.  This may cause the drug to be used more frequently, creating a "vicious circle".  Subsequent corneal infection and/or corneal opacification with accompanying permanent visual loss or corneal perforation may occur.  Prolonged use may also product severe keratitis.

Do not touch dropper tip to any surface as this may contaminate the solution.  As with all anesthetics, continuous and prolonged use should be avoided.  Protection of the eye from irritating chemicals, foreign bodies and rubbing during the period of anesthesia is very important.  Tetracaine Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution, USP 0.5% should be used cautiously in patients with known allergy or cardiac disease.  If signs of sensitivity develop during the treatment or irritation  persists or increases, patients should be advised to discontinue use and consult prescribing physician.

Transient symptoms (signs) such as stinging, burning, and conjunctival redness may occur.  A rare, severe, immediate type allergic corneal reaction has been reported characterized by acute diffuse epithelial keratitis with filament formation and/or sloughing of large areas of necrotic epithelium, diffuse stromal edema, descemetitis and iritis.  To report SUSPECED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact OCuSOFT, Inc. at 800-239-5469, www.ocusoft.com
