WHAT CIMZIA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Cimzia contains the active substance certolizumab pegol, a human
antibody fragment. Antibodies are
proteins that specifically recognise and bind to other proteins.
Cimzia binds to a specific protein called
tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα). Thereby this TNFα is blocked by
Cimzia and this decreases
inflammation diseases such as in rheumatoid arthritis, axial
spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis and
psoriasis. Medicines that bind to TNFα are also called TNF blockers.
Cimzia is used in adults for the following inflammatory diseases:
•
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS,
•
AXIAL SPONDYLOARTHRITIS
(including ankylosing spondylitis and axial spondyloarthritis without
radiographic evidence of ankylosing spondylitis),
•
PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS
•
PLAQUE PSORIASIS

X-ray and to improve physical function, when given in combination with
MTX.

active axial spondyloarthritis,
comprising:
_Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) (also known as radiographic axial
