golimumab

Golimumab is a prescription medication that helps reduce inflammation and immune system activity. It’s a type of biologic drug called a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor. Golimumab is used to treat conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and ulcerative colitis, which involve immune system overactivity causing pain and damage. It works by blocking a substance called TNF that promotes inflammation. Usually administered via injection, golimumab can help improve symptoms, reduce joint or tissue damage, and improve overall quality of life for people with these chronic inflammatory conditions.
