Description of selected adverse reactions: Instillation site pain was a frequently reported local adverse reaction associated with the use of IKERVIS during clinical trials. It is likely to be attributable to ciclosporin.
One case of severe epithelial erosion of the cornea identified as corneal decompensation by the investigator resolved without sequelae was reported.
Patients receiving immunosuppressive therapies, including ciclosporin, are at increased risk of infections. Both generalized and localized infections can occur. Pre-existing infections may also be aggravated (see Contraindications). Cases of infections have been reported uncommonly in association with the use of IKERVIS. To reduce the systemic absorption, see Dosage & Administration.
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions: Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorization of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions.
