What is it?
Razumab is an Indian biosimilar of ranibizumab, approved for eye use. It works like Accentrix at a lower price.
It is one of the most commonly used injections in India for macular degeneration and diabetic macular oedema.
What it is used for
- Wet age-related macular degeneration
- Diabetic macular oedema
- Macular swelling after retinal vein occlusion
- Choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM), including from high myopia
If your OCT shows active fluid, injections work best when started within days to a couple of weeks.
Call +91 98306 66650How it is diagnosed
- OCT before each injection
- FFA or OCT angiography at the start
Treatment options
Same medicine, fewer doses
Ask about a 'treat and extend' plan: once the macula is dry, the gap between injections is stretched, which lowers the yearly cost.
Lower-cost alternatives
Bevacizumab and biosimilar ranibizumab work well for many eyes at a fraction of the price.
Cashless
Intravitreal injections are covered as day-care by most insurers and by CGHS, WBHS and ESI.
What happens, step by step
- Scan
Vision test and OCT.
- Injection
Numbing drops, antiseptic and a few seconds' injection in a clean room.
- Home
Same day. Next OCT in about 4 weeks.
