WHAT SIMPONI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Simponi contains the active substance called golimumab.
Simponi belongs to a group of medicines called ‘TNF blockers’. It
is used IN CHILDREN 2 years of age
and older for the treatment of polyarticular juvenile idiopathic
arthritis.
Simponi works by blocking the action of a protein called ‘tumour
necrosis factor alpha’ (TNF-α). This
protein is involved in inflammatory processes of the body, and
blocking it can reduce the
inflammation in your body.
POLYARTICULAR JUVENILE IDIOPATHIC ARTHRITIS
Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis is an inflammatory disease
that causes joint pain and swelling
in children. If you have polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis
you will first be given other
medicines. If you do not respond well enough to these medicines, you
will be given Simponi in
combination with methotrexate to treat the disease.
