Product Overview
About Idacio
Idacio is a medication used to treat various diseases.
What it is used for
Idacio is used to treat diseases that involve inflammation.
How it is used
Idacio is available as a solution for injection under the skin in a vial or pre-filled syringe or pen, and is usually given every 2 weeks. The dose and frequency of injection depend on the condition to be treated and the dose for a child is usually calculated according to the child’s weight. After training, patients or their carers may inject Idacio if their doctor considers it appropriate. Idacio can only be obtained with a prescription and treatment must be started and supervised by a doctor who has experience in the treatment of the diseases for which Idacio is used. Eye specialists treating uveitis should also take advice from doctors who have experience of using adalimumab. For more information about using Idacio, see the package leaflet or contact your doctor or pharmacist.
How it works
The active substance in Idacio, adalimumab, is a monoclonal antibody (a type of protein) that has been designed to recognise and attach to a substance in the body called tumour necrosis factor (TNF). TNF is involved in causing inflammation and is found at high levels in patients with the diseases that Idacio is used to treat. By attaching to TNF, adalimumab blocks its activity, thereby reducing inflammation and other symptoms of the diseases.
