AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
ACTEMRA (tocilizumab) is a monoclonal antibody that blocks the interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor, reducing inflammatory signaling in rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions. Administered via intravenous or subcutaneous injection, it is indicated for patients with moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis and has expanded to multiple indications including giant cell arteritis and systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease. The drug works by antagonizing IL-6 signaling, a key driver of systemic inflammation.
