Byooviz is used to treat neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema, diabetic retinopathy, macular edema following retinal vein occlusion, and myopic choroidal neovascularization.
Byooviz is a biosimilar to Lucentis that works as a vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) inhibitor. It binds to VEGF-A, preventing it from interacting with its receptors and thereby reducing abnormal blood vessel growth and decreasing fluid leakage in the retina.
Byooviz is administered as an intravitreal injection by a qualified healthcare professional. Common side effects may include eye redness, pain, floaters, and increased intraocular pressure. Patients should be monitored for serious infections and retinal detachment. As a biosimilar, it is highly similar to the reference product with no clinically meaningful differences in safety or effectiveness.
