WHAT BYOOVIZ IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT BYOOVIZ IS
Byooviz is a solution which is injected into the eye. Byooviz belongs
to a group of medicines called
antineovascularisation agents. It contains the active substance called
ranibizumab.
WHAT BYOOVIZ IS USED FOR
Byooviz is used in adults to treat several eye diseases causing vision
impairment.
These diseases result from damage to the retina (light-sensitive layer
at the back of the eye) caused by:
-
Growth of leaky, abnormal blood vessels. This is observed in diseases
such as age-related
macular degeneration (AMD) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy
(PDR, a disease caused by
diabetes). It may also be associated with choroidal neovascularisation
(CNV) due to pathologic
myopia (PM), angioid streaks, central serous chorioretinopathy or
inflammatory CNV.
-
Macular oedema (swelling of the centre of the retina). This swelling
can be caused by diabetes
(a disease called diabetic macular oedema (DME)) or by the blockage of
retinal veins of the
retina (a disease called retinal vein occlusion (RVO)).
