Faricimab
Vabysmo (faricimab) is an anti-VEGF therapy administered via injection into the eye for treating certain retinal conditions that cause vision loss. It is used in adults with neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and macular edema following retinal vein occlusion. The medication works by targeting multiple pathways involved in abnormal blood vessel growth and fluid leakage in the retina.

Vabysmo is approved for treating neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and macular edema following retinal vein occlusion—conditions that can lead to vision loss if left untreated.
Vabysmo is a bispecific antibody that inhibits two pathways (VEGF-A and Ang-2) involved in abnormal blood vessel formation and increased vascular permeability in the retina, reducing fluid leakage and helping to preserve vision.
Vabysmo is administered as an intravitreal injection by a healthcare professional. As a brand-name medication, no generic equivalent is currently available. Patients should discuss potential side effects, risks, and the treatment schedule with their eye specialist.
