Uses

Recombinant Human Microplasmin is a proteolytic enzyme used to treat symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion by dissolving the protein matrix responsible for the adhesion between the vitreous and macula.

Recombinant Human Microplasmin is a proteolytic enzyme indicated for the treatment for symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion.

Recombinant Human Microplasmin is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Symptomatic Vitreomacular Adhesion

How Recombinant Human Microplasmin works

Recombinant Human Microplasmin has proteolytic activity against protein components of the vitreous body and the vitreoretinal interface (VRI) (e.g. laminin, fibronectin and collagen), thereby dissolving the protein matrix responsible for the vitreomacular adhesion (VMA).

Toxicity

The most commonly reported reactions (≥ 5%) in patients treated with ocriplasmin were vitreous floaters, conjunctival hemorrhage, eye pain, photopsia, blurred vision, macular hole, reduced visual acuity, visual impairment, and retinal edema.

Food Interaction

No interactions found.

Elimination Route

Because of the small dose administered (0.125 mg), ocriplasmin is not expected to be in the systemic circulation following injection. Within 30 minutes after injection, levels of ocriplasmin in the vitreous are 12 mcg/mL. 24 hours after injection, levels in the virtreous are 0.5 mcg/mL
