ADVERSE REACTIONS
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 adverse reaction information from clinical trials does, however, provide a basis for identifying the adverse events that appear to be related to drug use and for approximating rates.

In the three safety and efficacy studies, 65 of 933 subjects (7%) experienced at least one treatment-related adverse event. The most common treatment-related adverse event was application site burning (see Table 2). Treatment-related application site reactions that were reported in < 1% of subjects were: dermatitis, discharge, dryness, erythema, irritation, pain, pruritus, and pustules. Other treatment-related adverse reactions that were reported in < 1% of subjects were: eye irritation, eye swelling, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, impetigo, pyogenic granuloma, dizziness, headache, paresthesia, acne, nail discoloration, facial swelling.
Contact sensitization, cumulative irritation, phototoxicity and photoallergy studies were conducted with XOLEGEL Gel. Under the conditions of study, XOLEGEL Gel did not demonstrate contact sensitization, phototoxicity or photoallergenicity, but did demonstrate potential to cause irritation.
