๐Ÿ’ช Great to see 2 ophthalmic drugs made the list of top selling medicines for 2024 including Bayer with Eyelea and Roche Vabysmo.

๐Ÿ‘ Bayer
Bayer, alongside Regeneron, co-markets Eyelea โ€“ 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.

๐Ÿ‘ Roche
Vabysmo (faricimab)โ€”a bispecific antibody targeting both VEGF and Ang-2โ€”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.

๐Ÿ‘ While Novartisโ€”with Lucentis, a competitor to Eyleaโ€”and AbbVie both have ophthalmic drugs in their pipelines, neither company saw them break into their top three bestsellers this year.
