Zlatal is a prescription medication primarily used in the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss in individuals over the age of 50. It belongs to a class of drugs known as anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) agents, which work by inhibiting the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the eye that can cause AMD. Zlatal is administered directly into the eye through an injection by a healthcare professional. This medication is designed to slow the progression of the disease and help maintain vision. It is important for patients to follow their healthcare provider's instructions and attend all follow-up appointments to monitor the effects of the treatment.
