Consumer:

Macular edema was reported in 1.8% of patients receiving siponimod treatment, the majority of cases occurring within the first four months of therapy. Patients with a history of uveitis and patients with diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of macular edema during therapy. An ophthalmic evaluation of the fundus, including the macula, is recommended in all patients before starting treatment and at any time if there is any change in vision while taking siponimod. Patients with diabetes mellitus or a history of uveitis should have regular follow-up examinations during treatment. Continuation of therapy in patients with macular edema has not been evaluated, therefore, a decision on whether or not to discontinue treatment needs to take into account the potential benefits and risks for the individual patients.
