The Division of Drug Information (DDI) is CDER's focal point for public inquiries. We serve the public by providing information on human drug products and drug product regulation by FDA.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning the public that the anti-seizure medication Potiga (ezogabine) can cause blue skin discoloration (See Photos) and eye abnormalities characterized by pigment changes in the retina. FDA does not currently know if these changes are reversible. All patients taking Potiga should have a baseline eye exam, followed by periodic eye exams. FDA is working with the manufacturer to gather and evaluate all available information to better understand these events. FDA will update the public when more information is available.
For more information, please visit: Potiga.
