When your patient is diagnosed with a chronic illness, it can be difficult to know where to go next. Coming up with a plan that your patient will consistently follow can be a challenge. Fortunately, TNF blockers have been shown to help patients with a variety of conditions, such as Crohn’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Learn more about how this type of infusion therapy works:
What is TNF?
Tumor necrosis factor is a protein in blood that has the potential to cause inflammation in various parts of the body. TNF can be triggered by a normal immune response. However, when too much TNF is created, the inflammation can cause damage to internal organs. Fortunately, anti-TNF therapies can help.
How TNF Blockers Work
Anti-TNF therapies, also known as TNF blockers, are infused into a vein. The time they take can vary between products and patients, but it’s typically between 30 minutes and 3 hours.
Conditions TNF Blockers Treat
Overproduction of TNF can lead to various diseases. TNF blockers are FDA-approved to treat these conditions, such as:
- Ankylosing Spondylitis
- Crohn’s Disease
- Plaque Psoriasis
- Psoriatic Arthritis
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Ulcerative Colitis
