About Tyrvaya

What is this medication? Tyrvaya is a prescription nasal spray used to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. Unlike traditional eye drops that provide artificial lubrication, this medication works by stimulating the body to produce its own natural tears. It contains the active ingredient varenicline, which acts as a cholinergic agonist to target the nerve pathways responsible for tear film production.

The medication is typically administered as a spray into each nostril twice a day. By activating the trigeminal nerve within the nasal passage, it triggers the production of all three layers of the tear film, including the oil, water, and mucus components, to help maintain eye surface health and comfort. This unique approach offers a different method of management for individuals who suffer from chronic dryness and may prefer a nasal spray over traditional topical drops.

Adverse reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reaction reported in 82% of patients was sneezing. Events that were reported in 5-16% of patients were cough, throat irritation, and instillation-site (nose) irritation. ( 6 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Oyster Point Pharma at 1-877-EYE-0123 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. In three clinical studies of dry eye disease conducted with varenicline solution nasal spray, 349 patients received at least 1 dose of TYRVAYA. The majority of patients had 31 days of treatment exposure, with a maximum exposure of 105 days. The most common adverse reactions reported in 82% of TYRVAYA treated patients was sneezing. Other common adverse reactions that were reported in >5% of patients include cough (16%), throat irritation (13%), and instillation-site (nose) irritation (8%).
Use in pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on TYRVAYA use in pregnant women to inform any drug associated risks. In animal reproduction studies, varenicline did not produce malformations at clinically relevant doses. All pregnancies have a risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the US general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Pregnant rats and rabbits received varenicline succinate during organogenesis at oral doses up to 15 and 30 mg/kg/day, respectively. While no fetal structural abnormalities occurred in either species, maternal toxicity, characterized by reduced body weight gain, and reduced fetal weights occurred in rabbits at the highest dose (4864 times the MRHD on a mg/m 2 basis). In a pre- and postnatal development study, pregnant rats received up to 15 mg/kg/day of oral varenicline succinate from organogenesis through lactation. Maternal toxicity, characterized by a decrease in body weight gain, was observed at 15 mg/kg/day (1216 times the MRHD on a mg/m 2 basis). Decreased fertility and increased auditory startle response occurred in offspring at the highest maternal dose of 15 mg/kg/day.
