WHAT IS AMGEVITA®?
If you have been prescribed AMGEVITA®, it is because you have a disease that occurs when people have too much TNF-alpha (also known as tumour necrosis factor) in their bodies. The extra TNF-alpha can attack normal healthy body tissues and cause inflammation.
AMGEVITA® is a type of medicine called a monoclonal antibody, and it binds to TNF-alpha. By binding to TNF-alpha, AMGEVITA® decreases the inflammation process of certain diseases.
