WHAT ROACTEMRA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
RoActemra contains the active substance tocilizumab, which is a
protein made from specific immune
cells (monoclonal antibody), that blocks the action of a specific
protein (cytokine) called interleukin-6.
This protein is involved in inflammatory processes of the body, and
blocking it can reduce the
inflammation in your body. RoActemra helps to reduce symptoms such as
pain and swelling in your
joints and can also improve your performance of daily tasks. RoActemra
has been shown to slow the
damage to the cartilage and bone of the joints caused by the disease
and to improve your ability to do
normal daily activities.
ROACTEMRA IS USED TO TREAT ADULTS
with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA),
an autoimmune disease, if previous therapies did not work well enough.
RoActemra is usually
given in combination with methotrexate. However, RoActemra can be
given alone if your
doctor determines that methotrexate is inappropriate.
RoActemra can also be used to treat adults who have not had
