Treatment of chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (the back portion of the eye including the retina and choroid).
Yutiq is a corticosteroid implant that releases fluocinolone acetonide directly into the vitreous cavity over an extended period (approximately 36 months). As a corticosteroid, it suppresses inflammation by inhibiting multiple inflammatory pathways and reducing immune cell activity in the eye.
Yutiq is administered by a healthcare professional as an intravitreal injection. Common side effects include cataract formation and elevated intraocular pressure (which may require treatment or surgical intervention). There is a risk of endophthalmitis and other injection-related complications. Patients should be monitored regularly for ocular side effects. The implant is designed for single administration with sustained release and does not require removal.
