Hello There.
I can understand your concern.
i'm sure you would have consulted a doctor who is a specialist and not a quack.
so when he suggests you something, he knows what he is doing. accentrix is Ranibizumab, which is used in treatment of macular degeneration often.
yes you can go ahead with this . there is no problem with such injections. they have undergone a lot of clinical trials and have been proved effective.
it can be administered intravitreally only. and usually done once a month for upto 12 doses.
Best regards,
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
