Bayer is pleased to announce that the HSE has granted hospital pricing approval for EYLEA\u00ae<\/span> (aflibercept) 114.3 mg\/mL solution for injection in a pre-filled syringe. This is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and adult patients with visual impairment due to diabetic macular oedema (DMO), both on the basis that aflibercept is used as a second-line treatment, following first-line treatment with bevacizumab.<\/p>\n Dr Tristan Cooper<\/strong>, Medical Director, Bayer Ireland, said: \u201cEYLEA 8mg offers a higher-dose aflibercept option that may help maintain vision outcomes for appropriate patients while enabling longer intervals between injections for some individuals, reducing treatment and clinic visit burden over time.\u201d1,2<\/span><\/p>\n John Woods<\/strong>, Managing Director, Bayer Ireland, added: \u201cWe welcome the HSE\u2019s decision to grant hospital pricing approval for EYLEA 8 mg (aflibercept 114.3 mg\/mL) as a second-line option following bevacizumab for adult patients with nAMD and DMO.
