IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of Contamination: Do not allow the tip of the dispensing container to contact the eye, surrounding structures, fi ngers, or any other surface in order to minimize contamination of the solution. Serious damage to the eye and subsequent loss of vision may result from using contaminated solutions. Use with Contact Lenses: XDEMVY contains potassium sorbate, which may discolor soft contact lenses. Contact lenses should be removed prior to instillation of XDEMVY and may be reinserted 15 minutes following its administration. * The safety and effi cacy of XDEMVY for the treatment of DB were evaluated in a total of 833 patients (415 of whom received XDEMVY) in two 6-week, randomized, multicenter, double-masked, vehicle-controlled studies (SATURN-1 and SATURN-2). Patients were randomized to either XDEMVY or vehicle at a 1:1 ratio, dosed twice daily in each eye for 6 weeks. All patients enrolled were diagnosed with DB. The primary effi cacy endpoint was defi ned as the proportion of patients with collarette reduction to no more than 2 collarettes per upper eyelid at Day 43. © 2024 Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
