How it is used
Afqlir is given as an injection into the affected eye, repeated as appropriate at intervals of a month or more. How often the injections are given depends on the condition being treated and the patient’s response to treatment.
How it works
The active substance in Afqlir, aflibercept, is an engineered protein that has been designed to attach to and block the effects of a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). It can also attach to other proteins such as placental growth factor (PlGF). VEGF-A and PlGF are involved in stimulating the abnormal growth of blood vessels in patients with AMD, certain types of macular oedema and myopic choroidal neovascularisation. By blocking these proteins, aflibercept reduces the growth of abnormal blood vessels and controls leakage and swelling.
