This medication works by inhibiting VEGF, a protein that promotes the growth of new blood vessels. It is often prescribed for conditions such as wet age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and macular edema following retinal vein occlusion.

Afqlir should be handled with care and administered by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow all safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer and healthcare provider.
