Infimab 100mg Infliximab Injection

What is Infimab 100mg Injection?

Infliximab is part of a class of drugs called biologics. Infliximab 100mg inhibits a chemical called tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. This chemical is responsible for triggering inflammation at various sites in the body. It is administered by very slow intravenous injection, in hospital.

Infimab 100mg Injection Uses :

Infimab acts as an immunosuppressant drug, and is commonly used to treat autoimmune diseases like :

• Ankylosing spondylitis
• Crohn’s disease
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Ulcerative colitis
• Psoriasis
• Psoriatic arthritis

In these conditions, the body’s defense system (immune system) attacks healthy tissues. Infliximab works by blocking the actions of a certain natural substance (tumor necrosis factor alpha) in the body. This helps to decrease swelling (inflammation) and weaken your immune system, thereby slowing or stopping the damage from the disease.
