Overview
BYQLOVI (clobetasol propionate ophthalmic suspension) 0.05% contains the active compound clobetasol propionate, a synthetic corticosteroid, that has a high degree of glucocorticoid activity and a slight degree of mineralocorticoid activity. Chemically, clobetasol propionate is 21-chloro-9-fluoro-11β,17-dihydroxy-16β- methylpregna- 1,4-diene-3,20-dione 17-propionate and it has the following structural formula: Clobetasol propionate has the empirical formula C25H32CIFO5 and a molecular weight of 467. BYQLOVI contains a sterile, anti-inflammatory corticosteroid for topical ophthalmic use. Each mL of BYQLOVI contains: ACTIVE: clobetasol propionate 0.5 mg (0.05%) INACTIVES: sodium chloride, hydrogenated soybean lecithin, citric acid, glycerin, poloxamer 407, polyvinyl alcohol, boric acid, edetate disodium dihydrate, methylcellulose, trisodium citrate, and water for injection PRESERVATIVE: benzalkonium chloride 0.0036%. Structural Formula
Indications & Usage
BYQLOVI is indicated for the treatment of post-operative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery. BYQLOVI is a corticosteroid indicated for the treatment of post- operative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery. ( 1 )
Dosage & Administration
Instill one drop of BYQLOVI into the affected eye twice daily beginning the day after surgery and continuing throughout the first 2 weeks of the post-operative period. ( 2.1 ) Wash hands well before each use. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage Instill one drop of BYQLOVI into the affected eye twice daily beginning the day after surgery and continuing throughout the first 2 weeks of the post-operative period. 2.2 Administration Instructions Wash hands well before each use. If using other eye drops in addition to BYQLOVI, wait at least 5 minutes between instillation of BYQLOVI and other eye drops.
Warnings & Precautions
Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Increase : Prolonged use of corticosteroids may result in glaucoma with damage to the optic nerve, defects in visual acuity and fields of vision. Steroids should be used with caution in the presence of glaucoma. If this product is used for 10 days or longer, IOP should be monitored. ( 5.1 ) Cataracts : Prolonged use of corticosteroids may result in posterior subcapsular cataract formation. ( 5.2 ) Delayed Healing : The use of steroids after cataract surgery may delay healing and increase the incidence of bleb formation. ( 5.3 ) Corneal and Scleral Melting : In those diseases causing thinning of the cornea or sclera, perforations have been known to occur with the use of topical steroids. The initial prescription and renewal of the medication order should be made by a physician only after examination of the patient with the aid of magnification, such as slit lamp biomicroscopy, and where appropriate, fluorescein staining. ( 5.4 ) Bacterial Infections : Prolonged use of corticosteroids may suppress the host response and thus increase the hazard of secondary ocular infections. In acute purulent conditions, steroids may mask infection or enhance existing infection. If signs and symptoms fail to improve after 2 days, the patient should be reevaluated. ( 5.5 ) Viral Infections : Employment of a corticosteroid medication in the treatment of patients with a history of herpes simplex requires great caution. Use of ocular steroids may prolong the course and may exacerbate the severity of many viral infections of the eye (including herpes simplex). ( 5.6 ) Fungal Infections : Fungal infections of the cornea are particularly prone to develop coincidentally with long-term local steroid application. Fungus invasion must be considered in any persistent corneal ulceration where a steroid has been used or is in use. Fungal culture should be taken when appropriate.

Steroids should be used with caution in the presence of glaucoma.

Use of ocular corticosteroids may prolong the course and may exacerbate the severity of many viral infections of the eye (including herpes simplex). 5.7 Fungal Infections Fungal infections of the cornea are particularly prone to develop coincidentally with long- term local corticosteroid application. Fungus invasion must be considered in any persistent corneal ulceration where a corticosteroid has been used or is in use. Fungal culture should be taken when appropriate. 5.8 Risk of Contamination Do not allow the dropper tip to touch any surface, as this may contaminate the ophthalmic suspension. 5.9 Contact Lens Wear BYQLOVI should not be instilled while wearing contact lenses. Remove contact lenses prior to instillation of BYQLOVI. The preservative in BYQLOVI may be absorbed by soft contact lenses. Lenses may be reinserted after 15 minutes following administration of BYQLOVI.
Contraindications
BYQLOVI is contraindicated in most active viral diseases of the cornea and conjunctiva, including epithelial herpes simplex keratitis (dendritic keratitis), vaccinia, and varicella, and also in mycobacterial infection of the eye and fungal diseases of ocular structures.

Adverse Reactions
The following serious reactions are found elsewhere in the labeling: Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Increase [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Posterior Subcapsular Cataract Formation [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 )] Ocular adverse reactions occurring in ≥ 1% of subjects in clinical studies who received BYQLOVI included eye inflammation (2%), corneal edema (2%), anterior chamber inflammation (2%), cystoid macular edema (2%), intraocular pressure elevation (1%), photophobia (1%) and vitreous detachment (1%). Many of these reactions may have been the consequence of the surgical procedure ( 6.1 ). To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Harrow at 1-833-4HARROW(427769) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Ocular adverse reactions occurring in ≥ 1% of subjects in clinical studies who received BYQLOVI included eye inflammation (2%), corneal edema (2%), anterior chamber inflammation (2%), cystoid macular edema (2%), intraocular pressure elevation (1%), photophobia (1%) and vitreous detachment (1%). Many of these reactions may have been the consequence of the surgical procedure.
