WHAT RAPTIVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Raptiva is a systemic psoriasis medicine. Systemic therapies are
medicines taken orally or
administered by injection and thus will be present in and affect the
whole body.
Raptiva is a medicine containing efalizumab, made by means of
biotechnology. It is produced by
genetically engineered mammalian cells. Efalizumab is a monoclonal
antibody. Monoclonal antibodies
are proteins that recognise and bind to other specific proteins of the
human body. Efalizumab reduces
inflammation of the psoriatic lesions which results in improvement of
the affected areas of the skin.
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque
psoriasis who have failed to
respond to, or who have a contraindication to, or are intolerant to
other systemic therapies including
ciclosporin, methotrexate and PUVA.
This restriction of the indication of Raptiva is based on the present
efficacy data and limited long-term
experience with Raptiva.

BEFORE YOU USE RAPTIVA
