What is Eylea?
Eylea is a medicine that contains the active substance aflibercept. It is available as a solution for injection into the eye in pre-filled syringes or vials.
What is Eylea used for?
• The ‘wet’ form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a disease which affects the central part of the retina (called the macula) at the back of the eye. The wet form of AMD is caused by the abnormal growth of blood vessels under the macula, which may leak fluid and blood and cause swelling.
• Impaired vision due to macular oedema (swelling) that follows blockage of either the main vein carrying blood from the retina (known as central retinal vein occlusion, CRVO) or of smaller branch veins (known as branch retinal vein occlusion, BRVO).
• Impaired vision due to macular oedema associated with damage to blood vessels caused by diabetes.
The macula provides central vision that is needed to see detail for everyday tasks such as driving, reading and recognizing faces. The diseases cause the gradual loss of the central part of a person’s vision.
Eylea 2mg Injection
COMPANY :- Bayer
MODE OF ACTION :- In wet macular degeneration, abnormal blood vessel grow in the choriocapillaris, a layer of capillaries in the eye, leading to blood and protein leakage below the macula.
Tumours need blood vessels sprouting into them when they become larger than a few millimetres, in order to get access to oxygen and nutritive substances to facilitate further growth.
Aflibercept binds to circulating VEGFs and acts like a "VEGF trap".[8] It thereby inhibits the activity of the vascular endothelial growth factor subtypes VEGF-A and VEGF-B, as well as to placental growth factor (PGF), inhibiting the growth of new blood vessels in the choriocapillaris or the tumour, respectively.[9] The aim of the cancer treatment, so to speak, is to starve the tumour.
