Description

A safety review was carried out by Health Canada to evaluate the risk of harmful side effects in areas of the body other than the eye (systemic toxicity) associated with Eylea. The review was triggered by 3 scientific studies which observed that following injection into the eye, Eylea is removed from the body's bloodstream slower than alternative products, and this could possibly lead to systemic toxicity.
