Beovu Pre-filled Syringe

Uses of Beovu Pre-filled Syringe

Beovu Pre-filled Syringe is made from a human antibody fragment. It works by keeping new blood vessels from forming under the retina (a sensory membrane that lines the inside of the eye). In people with certain types of eye disorders, new blood vessels grow under the retina where they leak blood and fluid.

Brolucizumab ophthalmic (for the eyes) is used to treat the “wet form” of age-related macular degeneration.

• inflammation inside your eye; or
• an infection in or around your eye.
