adalimumab

Adalimumab is a medication used to treat various autoimmune conditions, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues. It works by targeting a specific protein called tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which plays a role in inflammation. By blocking TNF, adalimumab helps reduce the inflammation and symptoms associated with diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and Crohn's disease. It's typically given as an injection, and while it can be effective for many people, it may also have side effects and requires monitoring by a healthcare professional.
