Oceva 10mg Injection

Oceva 10mg Injection contains Ranibizumab, a medicine belonging to the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) antagonist group. It works by blocking the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the eye, helping to prevent vision loss caused by various retinal disorders.

Oceva 10mg Injection is mainly used for treating wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that affects central vision and may make activities like reading, driving, and recognising faces difficult. It is also prescribed for myopic choroidal neovascularisation (mCNV), where abnormal blood vessels develop at the back of the eye due to severe nearsightedness.

This injection is also used to manage macular edema caused by retinal vein occlusion, diabetic macular edema (DME), and diabetic retinopathy, which are diabetes-related eye complications that can gradually affect eyesight. Ranibizumab helps reduce swelling and abnormal blood vessel formation, supporting better vision outcomes.
