Product Overview
About Opuviz
Opuviz is available as vials containing a solution for intravitreal injection.
How it is used
Opuviz can only be obtained with a prescription and must be given by a qualified doctor who is experienced in giving intravitreal injections. Opuviz 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 Opuviz, aflibercept, is an engineered protein that has been designed to attach to and block the effects of a substance 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 certain conditions. By blocking these factors, aflibercept reduces the growth of abnormal blood vessels and controls leakage and swelling.
