TissueBlue 0.025% - Pediatric use section The safety and effectiveness of TissueBlue 0.025% in pediatric patients has not been established.
Pregnancy
TissueBlue 0.025% - Pregnancy section Risk Summary There are no available data on the use of TissueBlue 0.025% in pregnant women to inform a drug associated risk. Systemic absorption of TissueBlue 0.025% in humans is expected to be negligible following intravitreal injection and subsequent removal of the drug at the completion of surgical procedures. Due to the negligible systemic exposure, it is not expected that maternal use of TissueBlue 0.025% will result in fetal exposure to the drug. Adequate animal reproduction studies were not conducted with TissueBlue 0.025%.
Use In Specific Populations
