  INFIMAB INFLIXIMAB INJECTION USES :

  Infimab acts as an immunosuppressant drug, and is commonly used to treat autoimmune diseases like :

  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Crohns disease
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Psoriasis
  • Psoriatic arthritis

  In these conditions, the body's defense system (immune system) attacks healthy tissues. Infliximab works by blocking the actions of a certain natural substance (tumor necrosis factor alpha) in the body. This helps to decrease swelling (inflammation) and weaken your immune system, thereby slowing or stopping the damage from the disease.
