Eylea 40mg/ml Injection contains Aflibercept, a recombinant fusion protein that acts as a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor. 

Brand Name: Eylea

Composition: Aflibercept

Mechanism of Action:

The recombinant fusion protein Aflibercept serves as a decoy receptor for placental growth factor (PlGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A and VEGF-B). It reduces these factors' biological function by attaching itself to them and preventing them from interacting with native VEGF receptors. In diseases like neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), and retinal vein occlusion, this inhibition inhibits vascular permeability and leakage as well as aberrant blood vessel growth (neovascularization).
