Pfizer have been letting doctors know that they should begin moving their patients off Exubera and onto other medicines that control high blood sugar levels. If you are worried about how you should control your blood sugar levels as a result of this announcement, you should contact your doctor as soon as possible to discuss your options for other blood sugar lowering medications. 25 January 2008

October 2018: The device used in this procedure (CyPass) has been withdrawn by the manufacturer Alcon, because of concerns about its long-term safety. Further details can be found in the Voluntary Field Safety Notice issued by Alcon. Surgeons are advised not to implant this device, to return any unused devices to Alcon and to consider reviewing any patients who have already been implanted with CyPass. Therefore NICE has decided to withdraw its guidance. NICE would consider whether to issue new guidance on ab interno supraciliary microstent insertion with phacoemulsification for primary open-angle glaucoma should evidence using an appropriately CE marked device become available.
