Sarilumab

Sarilumab is a medication designed to treat autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. It works by blocking a protein called interleukin-6 (IL-6), which plays a role in causing inflammation and joint damage. By inhibiting IL-6, sarilumab helps reduce swelling, pain, and other symptoms associated with these conditions, improving quality of life. It is typically administered as a self-injection and is prescribed when other treatments haven't been fully effective. As with any medication, it should be used under a healthcare provider's guidance, considering potential benefits and risks.
