CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION: Mechanism Of Action
BLUERET (Brilliant Blue G Solution 0.05% w/v) selectively stains membranes in the human eye during posterior surgery, such as Epiretinal Membranes (ERM)and Internal Limiting Membranes (ILM).
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
BLUERET (Brilliant Blue G Solution 0.05% w/v) is carefully applied to the retinal membrane using a blunt cannula attached to the syringe, without allowing the cannula to contact or damage the retina. Sufficient staining is expected on contact with the membrane. All excess dye should be removed from the vitreous cavity before performing an air-fluid exchange, to prevent unnecessary spreading of the dye. It can also be injected directly in a BSS filled vitreous cavity (instead of injecting under air). Clinical use demonstrated that, after complete vitreous and posterior hyaloids removal, sufficient staining is achieved after 30 seconds of application under BSS.
