CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Rheumatoid arthritis
Cyltezo in combination with methotrexate, is indicated for:

the treatment of moderate to severe, active rheumatoid arthritis in
adult patients when the response to
disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs including methotrexate has been
inadequate.

the treatment of severe, active and progressive rheumatoid arthritis
in adults not previously treated with
methotrexate.
Cyltezo can be given as monotherapy in case of intolerance to
methotrexate or when continued treatment
with methotrexate is inappropriate.
Cyltezo reduces the rate of progression of joint damage as measured by
X-ray and improves physical
function, when given in combination with methotrexate.
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Adalimumab in combination with methotrexate is indicated for the
treatment of active polyarticular juvenile
idiopathic arthritis, in patients from the age of 2 years who have had
