Cimzia

Cimzia is a prescription medication used to treat various autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn's disease. It contains the active ingredient certolizumab pegol, which is a type of biologic therapy that works by targeting and inhibiting a protein called tumor necrosis factor (TNF). By blocking TNF, Cimzia helps reduce inflammation, pain, and damage caused by these diseases. It’s typically administered via injection and can improve the quality of life for those managing chronic conditions by helping to control symptoms and flare-ups.
