SLOW GA
with IZERVAY
IZERVAY is FDA-approved to treat geographic atrophy (GA). IZERVAY slows GA by directly targeting C5, a key source of retinal cell death and loss of photoreceptors.
Why treat GA early?“Slowing GA means hope—hope that I'll preserve my vision longer, which can help me keep doing the things I love.” – Mary, GA patient
