Lucentis Injection is a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor that is used to treat conditions related to swelling or damage to the macula or retina (parts of the eye that are important for vision):

• Neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
• Macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO)
• Myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV)
• Lucentis and Cimerli biosimilar only:
• Diabetic macular edema (DME)
• Diabetic retinopathy (DR)

Lucentis Injection is a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor. It blocks VEGF-A, which is a protein that plays a role in the formation of new blood vessels and inflammation. When new blood vessels form and inflammation occurs in parts of the eye (e.g., retina, macula), it can lead to certain eye conditions that negatively impact your vision. Lucentis Injection prevents VEGF-A from having these effects in the eye, which helps lessen your chance of experiencing vision loss or blindness.

Lucentis Injection is only given in a clinic or hospital setting, since it has to be injected into the eye by a healthcare provider. Depending on your eye condition, the typical dose is 0.3 mg or 0.5 mg once a month (every 28 days).
