Anakinra

Anakinra is a medication that helps reduce inflammation in the body by blocking a specific protein called interleukin-1 (IL-1), which plays a key role in the immune system's response to injury or infection. It is often used to treat certain autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and hereditary periodic fever syndromes. By inhibiting IL-1, anakinra helps decrease pain, swelling, and tissue damage caused by excessive immune activity. It is administered through daily injections and is typically used under medical supervision to manage ongoing inflammation.
