What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Visudyne Overview
Verteporfin is used along with laser light treatment to treat certain serious eye conditions (such as macular degeneration, pathologic myopia, ocular histoplasmosis). Visudyne is used to help prevent decreased vision and blindness. After you have received the injection of verteporfin, your doctor will use laser light treatment on the affected eye(s). The laser light will change the drug to a form that works by damaging only those cells that cause the serious eye problem.
How to Use Visudyne
Visudyne is given by injection into a vein by a health care professional as directed by your doctor. Dosage of Visudyne is based on your body size and response to treatment. Use precautions to keep the drug from leaking out of the vein while it is being given (extravasation). If leaking occurs, the injection should be stopped and a cold pack/compress should be applied to the affected area. Protect the area from light until swelling and discoloration go away. Your doctor will treat your affected eye with laser light about 15 minutes after you receive Visudyne. If you have any questions about the treatment, consult your doctor. Wear a wristband for 5 days after receiving Visudyne to notify other health care professionals that you have received Visudyne and to remind you to avoid bright lights (such as halogen lights) and direct sunlight. However, do not stay in totally dark areas after treatment. You should expose your skin to regular indoor/indirect light because doing so will help stop any drug in your skin from causing damage to skin cells.

Wear rubber gloves and eye protection if you handle Visudyne. Accidental spills should be wiped up with a damp cloth and disposed of properly.
