Syfovre is a treatment for geographic atrophy (GA) caused by age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss. Doctors administer the medication through a monthly injection. But some patients are experiencing serious side effects. Are you one of them?
Syfovre, also called pegcetacoplan, is called a complement inhibitor. It blocks certain proteins in the immune system called complement proteins. This prevents the immune system from causing inflammation that could damage the retina. By doing this, the drug helps slow down the growth of GA lesions. It also reduces the chances of severe vision loss and blindness. This helps to preserve vision for longer.
Some patients have developed retinal vasculitis—a dangerous inflammation of the retina—after Syfovre injections. This condition can lead to severe vision damage.Signs and symptoms include:– Blurry vision– Seeing floaters– Dark patches in your sight – Difficulty recognizing colors – Distorted vision – Eye inflammation around blood vessels – Blood vessels leaking or becoming blocked – Soft, white patches and minor internal bleeding in the retina
Syfovre has also been linked to retinal vascular occlusion. With this condition, blood flow to the retina is blocked, causing rapid and irreversible vision loss.Symptoms of retinal vein occlusion include blurry vision or vision loss, floaters, and pain or pressure in the eye. The main sign of retinal artery occlusion is sudden vision loss in one eye.
If you’ve experienced blurred vision, eye pain, or sudden blindness after Syfovre treatment, you may have retinal vasculitis or vascular occlusion. Know the risks to protect your vision.Seek medical attention immediately. Doctors can treat the condition by managing inflammation through medication, laser therapy, or surgery.
Patients affected by Syfovre are taking legal action against the drug maker for not warning about these health risks. Plaintiffs in this type of lawsuit generally seek compensation for their losses, including medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. A drug injuries lawyer can review your case and inform you of your legal rights to recover damages.
