Harrow (Nasdaq: HROW), a leading North American eyecare pharmaceutical company, announced the relaunch of TRIESENCE® (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension) 40 mg/mL, a preservative‑free synthetic corticosteroid that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for visualization during vitrectomy and for the treatment of ocular inflammatory conditions that are unresponsive to topical corticosteroids.

In commenting on the announcement, Mark L. Baum, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Harrow, said, “We are very excited to have brought TRIESENCE back to the U.S. market, providing ophthalmologists access to a trusted FDA-approved product that has benefited millions of Americans. Accomplishing this required rebuilding the entire TRIESENCE supply chain and involved a global collaboration between Harrow and technical experts from our partners around the world. We are grateful for this team’s dedication and commitment, without which we would not have achieved this success.”

In response to Harrow’s relaunch of TRIESENCE, Dr. Rishi Singh, MD, an ophthalmologist and vitreoretinal surgeon of Cleveland Clinic Florida, remarked, “An FDA-approved, preservative-free corticosteroid is critical for office-based and surgical procedures. TRIESENCE is a pharmaceutically elegant injectable suspension that appears as a white backdrop against the back of the retina, enabling a higher degree of visibility of the vitreous and pathologic membranes during vitrectomy. It has long been a trusted, indispensable resource, and its absence has left many ophthalmologists and retina specialists without a reliable alternative.

“The relaunch of TRIESENCE, following more than five years on the FDA Drug Shortage List and two years of inventory depletion, brings much-needed relief for both eyecare professionals and their patients. During its absence, many were forced to adapt with less ideal, off-label solutions such as modifying preserved Kenalog-40, which posed potential risks. Now that TRIESENCE is back, we can confidently provide safer, more effective treatment, improving surgical outcomes and patient care.”

Dr. John W. Kitchens, MD, an ophthalmologist and vitreoretinal surgeon with Retina Associates of Kentucky, added, “I believe every retinal specialist in the U.S. joins me in thanking Harrow for their extraordinary efforts in bringing TRIESENCE back to market. Its potent anti-inflammatory properties also play a critical role in managing severe ocular inflammatory conditions that don’t respond to topical treatments, reducing swelling, pain, and the risk of long-term damage. I couldn't be more excited to have this vital tool back in my armamentarium, ensuring the best possible care for patients.”
