Macugen Disease Interactions

Drugs requiring intravitreal administration (including aflibercept, faricimab, pegaptanib, and ranibizumab) are contraindicated in patients with active intraocular inflammation or ocular/periocular infections; intravitreal injections have been associated with endophthalmitis. Patients should be advised to seek immediate medical attention from an ophthalmologist if the eye becomes red, photosensitive, or painful, or if a change in vision occurs in the days following drug administration.
