TNF inhibitors

TNF inhibitors are a type of medication that block tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a protein in the body that plays a key role in inflammation. High levels of TNF are often found in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease, leading to painful symptoms. By inhibiting TNF, these medications help reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve the quality of life for patients. Common TNF inhibitors include drugs like adalimumab and etanercept, which are often prescribed when other treatments have not been effective.
