Susvimo Injection Key Facts

What is Susvimo Injection used for?
Susvimo Injection is a VEGF inhibitor and is used to treat wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
How does Susvimo Injection work?
Susvimo Injection is a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor. VEGF is a protein your body normally makes. But people with wet AMD have high levels of VEGF. Too much VEGF can lead to abnormal blood vessel growth in your eye. These blood vessels can leak into the eye which can lead to vision loss. SUSVIMO works by blocking VEGF directly in your eye so that it slows down abnormal blood vessel growth. This can help protect and possibly improve your vision.

The SUSVIMO implant is placed into your eye during a procedure performed by a healthcare provider. The typical dose is 2 mg continuously released in your eye by the implant with a refill about every 6 months.
