INtravitreal and Aqueous Dexamethasone Levels After DEXtenza

DEXTENZA® is a corticosteroid implant indicated for the treatment of ocular pain following ophthalmic surgery. DEXTENZA® is inserted into the lower lacrimal punctum into the canaliculus by the physician following ophthalmic surgery. A single DEXTENZA® releases a 0.4 mg dose of dexamethasone for up to 30 days following insertion. DEXTENZA® is preservative free, resorbable and does not require removal. Saline irrigation or manual expression can be performed to remove the insert, if necessary.
