Active Ingredient: Anakinra
Anakinra is indicated in adults for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of RA in combination with methotrexate, with an inadequate response to methotrexate alone.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
For:
Subcutaneous, 100 milligrams anakinra, once daily.
The recommended dose of anakinra is 100 mg administered once a day by subcutaneous injection. The dose should be administered at approximately the same time each day.
Alternating the injection site is recommended to avoid discomfort at the site of injection. Cooling of the injection site, warming the injection liquid to room temperature, use of cold packs (before and after the injection), and use of topical glucocorticoids and antihistamines after the injection can alleviate the signs and symptoms of injection site reactions.
