A biologic medication that dampens an overactive immune response by blocking a signal that activates T cells, which are the immune cells responsible for causing inflammation and tissue damage in autoimmune diseases. It is used for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and is given either as an intravenous infusion or a weekly subcutaneous injection. Patients taking it should avoid live vaccines and be monitored for signs of infection.
