Actemra

ACTEMRA® (tocilizumab) was the first RA treatment to directly block the action of a protein in your body called interleukin-6 (IL-6). This protein is believed to play a part in RA.

Benlysta

Benlysta is the first prescription treatment in over 50 years approved for adults with active, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus) who are receiving other lupus medicines. Benlysta is not a steroid—it's a biologic therapy, delivered through an intravenous (IV) infusion or subcutaneous (SC) injection. It works by reducing certain cells in your immune system that can make lupus active.

Cimzia

Anti-Inflammatory. It can treat Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.

Enbrel

Enbrel is a medicine that affects your immune system. Enbrel can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections. Serious infections have happened in patients taking Enbrel. These infections include tuberculosis (TB) and infections caused by viruses, fungi, or bacteria that have spread throughout the body. Some patients have died from these infections. Your healthcare provider should test you for TB before you take Enbrel and monitor you closely for TB before, during, and after Enbrel treatment, even if you have tested negative for TB.

Humira

Serious infections have happened in people taking Humira. These serious infections include tuberculosis (TB) and infections caused by viruses, fungi, or bacteria that have spread throughout the body. Some people have died from these infections.

Inflectra®

Patients treated with infliximab products are at increased risk for developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. Most patients who developed these infections were taking concomitant immunosuppressants such as methotrexate or corticosteroids. Discontinue INFLECTRA® (infliximab-dyyb) if a patient develops a serious infection or sepsis.

Kevzara

Kevzara is an injectable prescription medicine called an interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor blocker. KEVZARA is used to treat adult patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) after at least one other medicine called a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) has been used and did not work well or could not be tolerated.

Orencia®

Orencia® (abatacept) is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms, inducing major clinical response, inhibiting the progression of structural damage, and improving physical function in adult patients with moderately to severely active RA. Orencia may be used as monotherapy or concomitantly with disease-modifying, anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) other than tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists.

Remicade

Remicade can treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, plaque psoriasis, and ulcerative colitis.

Simponi®

Simponi® (golimumab) is a prescription medicine. Simponi® can lower your ability to fight infections. There are reports of serious infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses that have spread throughout the body, including tuberculosis (TB) and histoplasmosis. Some of these infections have been fatal. Your doctor will test you for TB before starting Simponi® and will monitor you for signs of TB during treatment. Tell your doctor if you have been in close contact with people with TB. Tell your doctor if you have been in a region (such as the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys and the Southwest) where certain fungal infections like histoplasmosis or coccidioidomycosis are common.

Xeljanz

Xeljanz is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor that works deep inside the cell to disrupt activities occurring in signaling pathways. These JAK pathways are believed to play a role in the inflammation associated with RA. Watch to learn more about the science of Xeljanz and how it works to help disrupt the processes that can lead to inflammation.
