What is this medicine intended for?
Vabysmo is intended to treat:

Neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD)

Diabetic macular edema (DME)
Therapeutic group:
Ophthalmologicals, antineovascularisation agents.
How does Vabysmo work?
Both neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and
diabetic macular edema
(DME) affect the macula, the central part of the retina (the
light-sensitive layer at the back of the
eye). The macula is responsible for visual acuity.
nAMD is caused by the growth of abnormal blood vessels, which leak
blood and fluid into the
macula. DME is caused by leaky blood vessels that cause swelling of
the macula.
Faricimab, the active ingredient in Vabysmo, recognizes and attaches
to vascular endothelial
growth factor A (VEGF-A) and angiopoietin (Ang-2), blocking their
activity.
When these proteins are present in higher levels than normal, they can
cause the growth of
abnormal
