How Ranibizumab Injection (LUCENTIS) WorksLUCENTIS contains ranibizumab, an anti-VEGF agent that blocks vascular endothelial growth factor to prevent the growth of abnormal blood vessels and reduce fluid leakage in the eye. This action helps preserve and improve vision in conditions such as wet age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and macular edema. LUCENTIS is specifically designed for targeted delivery within the eye through intravitreal injection, maximizing its therapeutic benefits.
Administration Process and Professional UsageRanibizumab injection is administered via intravitreal injection-directly into the vitreous chamber of the eye-exclusively by qualified ophthalmologists in a clinical or hospital setting. Each single-use glass vial is intended for one-time administration to minimize risk of contamination. Dosage and frequency are determined by the prescribing physician based on the patient's condition and response to treatment.
Safety, Storage, and Stability InformationLUCENTIS should be kept refrigerated at 2C to 8C, protected from light, and never frozen. It is presented as a sterile, clear to pale yellow solution in a single-use vial with a shelf life of approximately 24 months when properly stored. Because it is a prescription-only medication, it should only be handled and administered by healthcare professionals to ensure patient safety.
