Additional Details
Uses of the Lucentis 10mg Injection
Here are the primary conditions Lucentis is used to treat:
Macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO): This condition happens when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel in the eye that swells in the macula.
Diabetic Retinopathy: This is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina. Lucentis can be used to treat certain types of diabetic retinopathy.
Myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV): This condition occurs in people with severe nearsightedness and involves abnormal blood vessel growth.
How Does Lucentis 10mg Injection Work?
Abnormal Blood Vessels: In certain eye conditions like wet AMD, diabetic retinopathy, and others, abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina. These vessels can leak fluid and blood, causing vision loss.
VEGF is a protein that stimulates the growth of new blood vessels.
Lucentis: Lucentis blocks the VEGF protein by inhibiting VEGF and overcomes the growth of these abnormal blood vessels and leakage.
How Should You Take Lucentis 10mg Injection?
Lucentis is administered as an injection directly into your eye by an ophthalmologist. It’s not a medication you can self-inject.
Preparation: Before applying the injection, your eye will be numbed with eye drops.
Injection: Then a tiny needle slowly injects the Lucentis into the vitreous humor, which is a gel-like substance that fills the inside of your eye.
Post-injection: After the injection, your health care expert will checkup your eye for a short time.
Recommended Dosage of Lucentis 10mg Injection
0.5 mg (0.05 mL) injected into the eye once a month for conditions like wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and macular edema following retinal vein occlusion.
0.3 mg (0.03 mL) injected into the eye once a month for diabetic macular edema.
