Why two NDCs? The FDA registers this code as 10511-3001-2 — a 5-4-1 layout, and that's what's printed on the package and shown on DailyMed. For insurance claims, every NDC is standardized to a uniform 11-digit 5-4-2 format by adding a zero to the package segment → 10511-3001-02. Same drug, same package — only the format differs.

🧪 Inactive Ingredients / Excipients

Inactive ingredients, also called excipients, are components of the drug product other than the active ingredient. They may include fillers, dyes, coatings, preservatives, flavors, or other formulation ingredients.

Loading inactive ingredients from the official FDA label in the background. No external source is being called by this page request.
Where does this data come from?
Source: official FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) via DailyMed and the openFDA label index. Structured IACT rows and label-wide narrative are kept separate; availability and product-level specificity depend on the submitted label.

Inactive ingredient FAQ

Are inactive ingredients the same for every manufacturer?
No. Inactive ingredients can differ by manufacturer, dosage form, strength, and package / product version.
Why might an inactive ingredient be missing?
Some SPLs do not provide a complete structured inactive-ingredient list, and older or unusual labels may only include the information in narrative text.
Can inactive ingredients matter?
Yes. They can matter for allergies, intolerances, dyes, gluten / lactose concerns, preservatives, and formulation differences — but confirm with a pharmacist or the manufacturer when it’s clinically important.

💲 Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Price systemPer eachPer package
Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.
Medicaid paysCMS SDUD · 12 mo No recent Medicaid claims on file for this NDC — rare and low-volume NDCs are suppressed in the public data.
Medicare drug plans payPart D · quarterly No Part D plan price is available for this NDC in our data.
Medicare Part B allowsASP · A9589 $1,432.336 / A9589 unit
Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.

LOE
Substance patent Formulation patent Method-of-use patent Exclusivity Pediatric +6mo
🏛️FDA exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection. It’s separate from patents and may be shorter than patent protection.
🧪Product / substance patents
Patents covering the active ingredient, product, formulation, or related drug features.
🎯Method-of-use patents
Patents covering specific approved uses. These can sometimes be carved out with a “skinny label,” but not always.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
Patent
Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
Substance patent
Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
Formulation (product) patent
Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
Method-of-use patent
A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
Skinny label
A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
Exclusivity
FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
Paragraph IV
A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
RLD / RS
Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
TE / AB rating
FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
LOE (loss of exclusivity)
The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.

Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

Common questions
Is there a generic version of CYSVIEW 100 MG KIT?
No FDA-approved generic equivalent is currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for CYSVIEW 100 MG KIT. Based on the patents and exclusivity currently listed, the Orange Book estimate is that full-label generic entry may be delayed until Jan 2038 — an estimate, not a guaranteed launch date.
The FDA approved a generic — why can’t I get it at my pharmacy yet?
FDA approval and pharmacy availability are two different things. The FDA can approve a generic years before it actually reaches pharmacies, because the brand company may still hold patents or have a settlement that delays the launch. A manufacturer also has to choose to make and sell it, and have supply ready. So a drug can be “FDA-approved generic exists” and still be brand-only at the counter today.
Why do different websites show different generic release dates?
Generic availability is not based on one single date. Some sources use the first exclusivity expiration, some use the last product patent, and others use the latest method-of-use patent. Patent challenges, settlements, licenses, and label carve-outs can also change the real-world launch date. This page shows the underlying Orange Book dates so you can see why estimates may differ.
What does “FDA listed” mean?
It means the product appears in the FDA’s official NDC directory. That’s a good sign a product exists and is intended for the U.S. market, but on its own it does not confirm a pharmacy can fill it today. Where we have recent retail pricing data (NADAC) for a product, we label it “Availability likely” instead.
What does a patent or protection date mean here?
It’s the latest date currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for a patent or exclusivity on the brand product. It can affect when a full generic version becomes widely available — but it is not a guaranteed generic launch date. Generics sometimes arrive earlier (through a settlement or patent challenge) or later (a manufacturer still has to make and sell one).
What does “current Orange Book estimate” mean?
It means we are using the latest patent and exclusivity dates currently listed in the FDA Orange Book. It is not a guaranteed launch date.
Can a generic come out before the last patent expires?
Sometimes. A generic company may challenge a patent, settle with the brand manufacturer, receive a license, or obtain approval with a narrower label that avoids a patented use. In other cases, the last listed protection may delay full-label generic competition.
Can a generic come out after the listed dates?
Yes. Even after patents or exclusivity expire, a generic still needs FDA approval and a manufacturer must choose to market it. Supply, litigation, business decisions, or regulatory issues can delay actual availability.
What is the difference between patents and exclusivity?
Patents are legal protections usually issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. FDA exclusivity is marketing protection granted by the FDA. They are separate, and either one can affect generic timing.
Why are there multiple patent dates?
One drug can have several patents covering different things: the active ingredient, a formulation, a manufacturing process, or a specific approved use. That is why a page may show several expiration dates instead of one simple generic date.
Built from FDA Orange Book patent and exclusivity data. Dates are refreshed from public FDA data when available; the marker is max(latest patent expiry, latest exclusivity expiry). Paragraph-IV settlements and first-filer 180-day exclusivity can shift the real date; a method-of-use patent may allow an earlier skinny-label generic for non-protected indications. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Where does this data come from?
Patents and exclusivity from the FDA Orange Book (small-molecule drugs), refreshed from public FDA data. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The FDA registers it as 10511-3001-2, which is what is printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero: 10511-3001-02, written without dashes as 10511300102. The Identity section at the top of this page lists every form of this code.
What do the three segments of this NDC mean?
In 10511-3001-02, the first segment (10511) is the labeler code FDA assigned to Photocure Inc.; the middle segment (3001) identifies this specific product — its ingredient, strength, and dosage form; and the last segment (02) identifies this exact package size and type. Together they name one specific package of one specific product.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Photocure Inc.. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
Photocure Inc. is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
Does this product have a billing J-code?
Yes — this NDC cross-references HCPCS code A9589 for medical-claim billing (typically used when a product is administered in a clinical setting rather than dispensed at a retail pharmacy). See the Billing section on this page.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.

CYSVIEW is an optical imaging agent indicated for the cystoscopic detection of carcinoma of the bladder, including carcinoma in situ (CIS), in adult patients: With suspected or known lesion(s) on the basis of a prior cystoscopy Undergoing surveillance cystoscopy for bladder cancer Limitations of Use CYSVIEW is not a replacement for random bladder biopsies or other procedures used in the detection of bladder cancer.

( 1 , 5.2 )

⏱️ Dosage and Administration ~3 min read

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommended adult dose is 100 mg reconstituted in 50 mL of the supplied diluent instilled into the bladder via a urinary catheter and retained for 1 hour to 3 hours before evacuation. ( 2.1 ) Use an FDA-authorized blue light imaging device intended to perform blue light cystoscopy with hexaminolevulinate hydrochloride. ( 2.4 ) Perform cystosopic examination of the entire bladder first under white light and then under blue light.

( 2.5 ) For reconstitution, administration, and cystoscopic examination see full prescribing information. ( 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.5 )

2.1Recommended Dose The recommended dose for adults is 100 mg of CYSVIEW administered by bladder instillation. Reconstitute the CYSVIEW 100 mg powder in the vial with the supplied diluent to a final volume of 50 mL. Administer the entire 50 mL dose via a urinary catheter. The solution should be retained in the bladder for 1 hour to 3 hours following instillation. [see Dosage and Administration (2.2 , 2.3) ] .

2.2Reconstitution of CYSVIEW General Instructions CYSVIEW is supplied as a kit with diluent for reconstitution, with or without a vial adapter for use during reconstitution [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16) ] . Perform all steps using aseptic technique. Wear gloves during the reconstitution procedure; skin exposure to CYSVIEW may increase the risk of sensitization to the drug.

Reconstituted CYSVIEW has a concentration of 2 mg/mL hexaminolevulinate hydrochloride and appears as a colorless to pale yellow, clear to slightly opalescent solution free from visible particles. If not immediately used, store the reconstituted solution in the labeled syringe under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) for up to 2 hours. The solution should be discarded if not used within 2 hours.

Reconstitution Using a Vial Adapter CYSVIEW Powder Diluent Plunger Rod Vial Adapter Figure A. Components of CYSVIEW and Attachment of Plunger Rod to Diluent Syringe 1. Fasten the plunger rod into the rubber stopper of the prefilled syringe by turning the plunger rod clockwise until it stops (see Figure A ).

Figure B. Connection of Vial Adapter to CYSVIEW Vial 2. Remove the plastic cap from the vial.

Remove the TyveK® cover from the vial adapter blister package. Do not remove the vial adapter from the package. Place the CYSVIEW vial on a flat surface.

Using the blister package to hold the vial adapter, connect to the vial with a downward vertical motion. The vial adapter snaps onto the vial as the spike penetrates the rubber stopper of the vial. Remove the plastic blister package and discard it.

Take care not to touch the exposed end of the vial adapter (see Figure B ). Figure C. Injection of Diluent into CYSVIEW Vial 3.

Remove the cap from the prefilled syringe and carefully retain it for subsequent reattachment to the syringe. Hold the prefilled syringe upright and carefully press the plunger rod upward to remove air. Connect the syringe to the vial adapter.

Inject about 10 mL of the diluent from the prefilled syringe down into the vial. The vial should be about ¾ full (see Figure C ). Figure D.

Dissolution of CYSVIEW Powder in Diluent 4. Without disconnecting the vial adapter from the vial, hold the vial and syringe in a firm grip and gently shake to dissolve the powder in the diluent. The powder normally dissolves almost immediately (see Figure D ).

Figure E. Withdrawal of Reconstituted CYSVIEW from Vial 5. Turn the vial upside down and withdraw all of the dissolved solution from the vial back into the syringe (see Figure E ).

Do not inject large amounts of air or diluent when vial is inverted as it may block the venting action of the vial adapter. If this occurs, turn the vial upright and pull back on the plunger rod in the syringe. Figure F.

Final Preparation of Reconstituted CYSVIEW Solution 6. Disconnect the empty vial with the vial adapter from the syringe tip and discard it. Plug the syringe with the syringe cap.

Gently mix the contents of the syringe…

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~2 min read

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Anaphylaxis: Have trained personnel and therapies available. ( 5.1 ). Failed Detection: CYSVIEW may not detect all malignant lesions. Always perform white light cystoscopy followed by blue light cystoscopy. Do not biopsy with blue light only. ( 5.2 ) False fluorescence may occur due to inflammation, cystoscopic trauma, scar tissue, previous bladder biopsy, recent BCG therapy, or chemotherapy. ( 5.3 )

5.1Anaphylaxis Anaphylaxis, including anaphylactic shock, has been reported following administration of CYSVIEW [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . Prior to and during use of CYSVIEW, have trained personnel and therapies available for the treatment of anaphylaxis.

5.2Failed Detection CYSVIEW may fail to detect some bladder tumors, including malignant lesions. CYSVIEW is not a replacement for random biopsies or any other procedure usually performed in the cystoscopic evaluation for cancer. Do not perform cystoscopy with blue light alone as malignant lesions can be missed unless the bladder is initially examined under white light [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) and Clinical Studies (14) ] .

The presence of urine and/or blood within the bladder may interfere with the detection of tissue fluorescence. To enhance the diagnostic utility of CYSVIEW: Ensure the bladder is emptied of urine prior to the instillation of fluids at cystoscopy. Rinse the bladder as needed during cystoscopy to optimize visualisation.

Biopsy/resect bladder mucosal lesions only following completion of both white light and blue light rigid cystoscopy.

5.3False Positive Fluorescence Fluorescent areas detected during blue light cystoscopy may not indicate a bladder mucosal lesion. In clinical studies, approximately 20% of the lesions detected only by blue light cystoscopy showed neither dysplasia nor carcinoma [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . False positive fluorescence may result from inflammation, cystoscopic trauma, and scar tissue from bladder mucosal biopsy from a previous cystoscopic examination, or following intravesical treatment such as recent BCG immunotherapy or intravesical chemotherapy.

In a study of patients treated with recent BCG immunotherapy or intravesical chemotherapy, the rate of false positives with blue light was 55% between 6 weeks to 90 days and 41% after 90 days; the false positive rate was 53% and 33% at the respective time intervals with white light.

🤒 Adverse Reactions ~1 min read

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reaction is discussed elsewhere in the Prescribing Information: Anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . The most common adverse reaction was bladder spasm followed by dysuria, hematuria, and bladder pain. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Photocure Inc. at 1-855-297-8439 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

6.1Clinical 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. The safety of CYSVIEW was evaluated in 1,628 patients in seven clinical trials. Patients were aged 32 to 96 years with a median age of 70 years, 77% male, 88% White, 3% Black or African American, and 9% of unspecified racial group.

All patients were evaluated after a single instillation of 100 mg of CYSVIEW, and 103 patients received a repeat administration of CYSVIEW [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . The most common adverse reaction was bladder spasm (reported in 2% of the patients) followed by dysuria, hematuria, and bladder pain.

6.2Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of CYSVIEW. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure: Anaphylactic shock, hypersensitivity reactions, bladder pain, cystitis, and abnormal urinalysis.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~1 min read

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on CYSVIEW use in pregnant women to inform a drug associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. Adequate reproductive and developmental toxicity studies in animals have not been performed. Systemic absorption following administration of CYSVIEW is expected to be minimal [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].

The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of hexaminolevulinate in human or animal milk, the effects on a breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Systemic absorption following administration of CYSVIEW is expected to be minimal [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. The lack of clinical data during lactation precludes a clear determination of the risk of CYSVIEW to an infant during lactation; therefore, the development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for CYSVIEW and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from CYSVIEW or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

8.5Geriatric Use Of 2,127 subjects in clinical studies of CYSVIEW, 67% were 65 years and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Hexaminolevulinate is an ester of the heme precursor, aminolevulinic acid. After bladder instillation, hexaminolevulinate enters the bladder mucosa and is proposed to enter the intracellular space of mucosal cells where it is used as a precursor in the formation of the photoactive intermediate protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) and other photoactive porphyrins (PAPs). PpIX and PAPs are reported to accumulate preferentially in neoplastic cells as compared to normal urothelium, partly due to altered enzymatic activity in the neoplastic cells.

After excitation with light at wavelengths between 360 nm and 450 nm, PpIX and other PAPs return to a lower energy level by fluorescing, which can be detected and used for cystoscopic detection of lesions. The fluorescence from tumor tissue appears bright red and demarcated, whereas the background normal tissue appears dark blue. Similar processes may occur in inflamed cells.

12.2Pharmacodynamics In vitro studies have shown increased porphyrin fluorescence in normal urothelium after exposure to CYSVIEW. In the human bladder, a greater accumulation of porphyrins is proposed in neoplastic or inflamed cells, compared to normal urothelium. After bladder instillation of CYSVIEW for approximately 1 hour and subsequent illumination with blue light at wavelengths 360 nm – 450nm, the porphyrins will fluoresce red [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ].

12.3Pharmacokinetics After bladder instillation of [ 14 C]-labeled CYSVIEW (100 mg) for approximately 1 hour in healthy volunteers, absolute bioavailability of CYSVIEW was 7% (90% confidence interval [CI]: 5%-10%). The [ 14 C]-labeled substance(s) showed biphasic elimination, with an initial elimination half-life of 39 minutes, followed by a terminal half-life of approximately 76 hours. Whole blood analysis showed no evidence of significant binding of CYSVIEW to erythrocytes.

An in vitro study showed that CYSVIEW underwent rapid metabolism in human blood.
