Basic Properties

Lucentis is an ophthalmic drug from NOVARTIS PHARMA, AG that has a beneficial effect on the eyes. It helps to reduce the likelihood of decreased visual acuity due to the cessation of the growth of new vessels in the retina. The active substance is ranibizumab, a fragment of a humanized antibody to endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), and is expressed by a recombinant strain of Escherichia coli. The composition of Lucentis 10 mg/ml 0.5 mg (0.05) ml also includes the following excipients α, α-trehalose dihydrate – 100 mg / 23 mg, L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate – 1.66 mg / 382 μg, L-histidine – 320 μg / 74 μg, polysorbate 20 – 100 μg / 23 μg, water d / i – up to 1 ml / up to 0.23 ml.

One package of Lucentis includes 1 prefilled syringe with the injectable solution for intraocular administration: transparent or slightly opalescent, colorless suspension.

You can buy Lucentis prefilled syringe 10mg/ml 0.05ml on Insulin.store.

Indications

Lucentis ranibizumab injection is indicated for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration in adults; treatment of decreased visual acuity associated with diabetic macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO) as monotherapy or in combination with laser coagulation in patients who have previously undergone laser coagulation,  diabetic retinopathy, etc.

Dosage of Lucentis

Lucentis ranibizumab injection can be applied only as an injection into the vitreous body.

The recommended dose for the injection is 0.5 mg (monthly dosing) once a month.

The first three injections are performed at a frequency of 1 time/month sequentially for 3 months. Treatment is stopped (stabilization phase), and visual acuity is checked regularly (at least 1 time/month). With a decrease in visual acuity by more than 5 letters on the ETDRS visual acuity scale (1 line according to the Snellen table), Lucentis treatment is resumed.

An interval of at least 1 month should be observed between the introduction of two doses.

Rules of Administration

Before the Lucentis injection procedure, it is necessary to carry out appropriate disinfection of the eyelid skin and the area around the eyes, anesthesia of the conjunctiva, and therapy with a wide range of antimicrobial drugs.

Antimicrobial drugs should be instilled into the conjunctival sac 3 times a day for 3 days before and after drug administration.

Lucentis should be inserted into the vitreous body 3.5-4 mm posterior to the limbus, avoiding the horizontal meridian and guiding the needle towards the center of the eyeball. The volume of the injected drug is 0.05 ml.

The next injection of the drug is carried out in the other half of the sclera.

Since intraocular pressure (IOP) may increase within 60 minutes following intravitreal injection with Lucentis, IOP, patients should be monitored for the perfusion of the optic nerve head.

In one session, the introduction of Lucentis is carried out only in one eye.

    The first time my doctor explained this procedure to me, I was so terrified. I’m afraid of needles in general, especially if they are near my eyes. Thank God my doctor is talented and experienced, the process wasn’t as bad as I expected.

    I have heard many positive reviews on Lucentis. However, I do not quite understand why it is sooooo expensive.

    I recently had the procedure performed on my eyes because of the problems caused by diabetes. To be honest, I was very scared because it’s hard for me to tolerate anything close to my eyes (I even can’t wear contact lenses because of it. However, the treatment was quick and not stressful at all. Maybe, I’m lucky because I found the best doctor.

    I like prefilled syringes from Lucentis. Very effective. However, the price is WAY TOO HIGH, as for me.

    My doctor recently used this product because the situation with my poor eyesight became even worse after I was diagnosed with diabetes. The procedure itself sounds scary, but in reality, everything was not as bad as I thought. Overall, I’m satisfied.
