Detailed Information

Introduction

Actemra 200mg injection contains tocilizumab, a monoclonal antibody that helps reduce inflammation in the body. This medication is used to treat moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis when other treatments haven't worked well enough, as well as certain types of arthritis in children and inflammation-related conditions in adults. Actemra works by blocking a protein called interleukin-6 that causes inflammation in your joints and body. Before using this injection, inform your doctor about any allergies, ongoing infections, tuberculosis, liver disease, kidney problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Key points

  • Monoclonal antibody medication that reduces joint inflammation and pain
  • Used for moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile arthritis in children

Therapeutic Uses

  • Moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (when other drugs haven't provided adequate relief)

  • Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (whole-body arthritis affecting children aged 1 year and above)
  • Cytokine release syndrome (severe immune response)

How it Works

Actemra 200mg injection works by blocking interleukin-6, a protein in your body that triggers inflammation.

This targeted approach makes it effective for conditions where inflammation is the main problem causing symptoms.
