What is Actemra?

Actemra is a prescription medicine used to treat a range of inflammatory autoimmune diseases, including:

1. Moderate to severely active rheumatoid arthritis in adults
2. Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in children two years of age and above
3. Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis in children two years of age and above
4. Giant cell arteritis in adults
5. Severe or life-threatening cytokine release syndrome following chimeric antigen receptor T-cell treatment in adults and children two years of age and above

Most autoimmune conditions can’t be cured (cytokine release syndrome can be). You have them for life, but your symptoms can be reduced and managed with medications that reduce inflammation, like Actemra.

Actemra is an immunosuppressant medication that reduces how much inflammation your immune system can trigger, reducing inflammation and giving you relief from your symptoms. You take Actemra by injecting it under your skin (subcutaneous injection) or by having it injected into a vein (intravenous injection). The amount you take, and how often, will depend on your condition and will be decided upon by the doctor who prescribes it to you.

Actemra active ingredients

The active ingredient in Actemra is called tocilizumab. It’s animmunosuppressive drug that reduces how much inflammation your immune system can trigger.

Tocilizumab works by blocking the action of certain cytokines. Your white blood cells release cytokines to trigger inflammation. The cytokines do this by attaching to the outside of your cells at areas called interleukin receptors. This stimulates the receptors, causing them to activate the inflammatory process within the cells. But tocilizumab attaches to these interleukin receptors instead, stopping your cytokines from attaching to them. This stops your cytokines from triggering inflammation, giving you relief from the symptoms of your inflammatory disease.

Actemra side effects & Actemra drug interactions

Actemra can cause side effects. When this happens, the most common include:

• Reactions at the site of injection, like itching, bruising, rashes, and pain
• Headaches
• Increased blood pressure (hypertension)
• An increase in upper respiratory tract infections, like the common cold, sinus infections, and the flu

Sometimes Actemra can cause more serious side effects. While these may be rare, they can include:

• Severe allergic reactions to the medication can cause skin rashes, dizziness, your chest to tighten, and swelling in your face, tongue, and throat that can make it difficult to breathe
• An increased risk of developing a serious infection, like tuberculosis and pneumonia, as Tremfya can reduce your immune system’s ability to fight infections
• An increased risk of developing certain cancers, like non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and cancers of the lung, kidney, and liver
• Liver problems can reduce your liver function, and in severe cases lead to liver failure and death
• A reoccurrence of a hepatitis B infection if you’ve previously had one
• Tears (perforations) in your stomach or intestines

As Actemra can interact with other medications, you should tell your prescribing doctor about all drugs you’re taking, particularly:

• Any other immunosuppressant medications, including:
  • Etanercept (Enbrel)
  • Adalimumab (Humira)
  • Infliximab (Remicade)
  • Rituximab (Rituxan)
  • Abatacept (Orencia)
  • Anakinra (Kineret)
  • Certolizumab (Cimzia)
  • Golimumab (Simponi)
• Any medications that affect the way your liver enzymes work
