VABYSMO Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is VABYSMO?
VABYSMO is the brand name for faricimab-svoa and is given as an eye injection.
What dosages is VABYSMO available in?
VABYSMO is available as a 120 mg/mL solution in a single-dose vial.
What is VABYSMO used for?
VABYSMO is a VEGF and Ang-2 inhibitor and is used for the following:
- Neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD)
- Diabetic macular edema (DME)
How does VABYSMO work?
VABYSMO is an injectable medication that blocks two proteins called vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2). VEGF-A and Ang-2 promote abnormal blood vessel growth, swelling, and fluid leakage. In neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME), the effects of these two proteins cause damage to parts of the eye that are important for vision. This damage can lead to vision loss. Blocking both VEGF-A and Ang-2 with VABYSMO leads to less abnormal blood vessel growth and swelling in the back of the eye.
How do I take VABYSMO?
VABYSMO is dosed as follows:
Neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration: The typical dose is 6 mg injected into the eye every 4 weeks for the first 4 doses. Then, your provider will determine how many additional doses you need and how often you’ll get them based on your eye exams. Diabetic macular edema: The typical dose is 6 mg injected into the eye every 4 weeks for the first 4 or 6 doses. Then, your provider will determine how often you need to get your following doses based on your eye exams.
