Ranizurel 0.5mg Injection, contains the active ingredient Ranibizumab. It is an anti-neovascularisation agent in the class of medications called vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) antagonists. It is used in adults to treat several eye diseases causing vision impairment. It is used to treat wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD, a persistent eye disease that causes loss of the ability to see straight ahead and may make it more difficult to read, drive, or perform other daily activities).

Ranizurel 0.5mg Injection is also used to treat myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV; a complication in near-sighted people where new blood vessels can grow in the back of the eye), and to treat macular edema after retinal vein occlusion (an eye disease caused by blockage of blood flow from the eye that leads to blurry vision and vision loss). It is also used to treat diabetic macular edema (an eye disease caused by diabetes that can lead to vision loss) and diabetic retinopathy (damage to the eyes caused by diabetes).

• Age-related macular degeneration
• Macular edema
• Diabetic macular edema and retinopathy
• Myopic choroidal neovascularization
• Retinal vein occlusion

Ranizurel 0.5mg Injection specifically recognizes and binds to a protein called human vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) present in the eye. In excess, VEGF-A causes abnormal blood vessel growth and swelling in the eye, leading to impairment of vision in certain eye diseases. This medicine can block its actions and prevent this abnormal growth and swelling. This injection can help to stabilize and improve your vision.

Ranizurel 0.5mg Injection is administered as an injection into your eye by an eye doctor under a local anesthetic. Your doctor will decide the dose and frequency of the injection based on your disease condition. Do not self-administer the medicine.

The use of Ranizurel 0.5mg Injection in children and adolescents has not been established and is therefore not recommended. This medicine can be used for people of 65 years of age and over with dose adjustments. If the eye becomes red, sensitive to light, painful, or develops a change in vision, seek immediate care from an ophthalmologist. Your doctor will monitor the condition of your eye and, depending on how you respond to the treatment, will decide if and when you need to receive further treatment.
