πŸ’ͺ Great to see 2 ophthalmic drugs made the list of top selling medicines for 2024 including Bayer with Eyelea and Roche Vabysmo.

πŸ‘ Bayer
Bayer, alongside Regeneron, co-markets Eyelea – a leading anti-VEGF therapy for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), and retinal vein occlusion. While not listed as their top seller, Eylea continues to dominate the retina market globally.

πŸ‘ Roche
Vabysmo (faricimab)β€”a bispecific antibody targeting both VEGF and Ang-2β€”has been a game-changer in retinal disease. Launched as a challenger to Eylea, it has gained strong traction thanks to its dual-action and potential for extended dosing.

πŸ‘ While Novartisβ€”with Lucentis, a competitor to Eyleaβ€”and AbbVie both have ophthalmic drugs in their pipelines, neither company saw them break into their top three bestsellers this year.
