What is Cimzia?

Cimzia is a prescription medicine used to treat a range of inflammatory autoimmune diseases in adults, including:

1. Moderately to severely active Chron’s disease
2. Moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis
3. Moderately to severely active plaque psoriasis
4. Active psoriatic arthritis
5. Active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis with inflammation
6. Active ankylosing spondylitis

The above inflammatory autoimmune diseases cannot be permanently cured. They will likely affect you for life, but you will have periods where symptoms ease off or disappear, and periods where your symptoms flare-up and become more severe. Medications like Cimzia can help you manage your autoimmune disease. Taking Cimzia can make flare-ups of symptoms happen less often and can make flare-ups less severe when they do happen.

You take Cimzia by injecting it under your skin, either in a pre-filled syringe yourself or by injections administered by your healthcare provider. The dose of Cimzia and how many injections you need will be decided upon by your prescribing doctor based on your condition and medical history.

Cimzia active ingredients

The active ingredient in Cimzia is called certolizumab pegol. It is a type of antibody protein that has been designed to target a substance in your body called tumor necrosis factor (TNF).

Your immune system triggers your cells to begin the inflammation process by releasing a range of substances. One of these substances is called tumor necrosis factor (TNF). It attaches to the outside of cells at sites called receptors, stimulating the receptors and triggering the cell to produce inflammatory proteins. However, when Cimzia is injected, the certolizumab pegol it contains attaches to the TNF released by your immune system. This blocks the TNF, stopping it from stimulating your cells to release inflammatory proteins. This reduces how much inflammation your immune system can trigger, easing the symptoms of your disease.

Cimzia side effects

The most common side effects caused by Cimzia include:

• An increase in upper respiratory infections, including colds and the flu
• An increase in bladder and urinary tract infections
• A skin rash

In rarer instances, Cimzia can cause more serious side effects. When these occur, they may include:

• An increased risk of certain cancers, including lymphoma (cancers that begin in the immune system) and skin cancers
• New or worsening heart failure
• New or worsening damage to your nerves that can cause multiple sclerosis or Guillain-Barre syndrome
• Severe allergic reactions to the medication that can cause a rapid heartbeat, chest pain, sweating, skin rashes and hives, as well as swelling of the face, mouth, and throat that can make it difficult to breathe
• A weakening of your immune system that can make you more vulnerable to infections, including serious infection, like tuberculosis
• An immune system reaction that can cause a lupus-like syndrome, with symptoms including shortness of breath, joint pain, and skin rashes
• A reactivation of a hepatitis B infection if you have previously had hepatitis B
• Low white blood cell counts that can weaken your immune system
• Low red blood cell counts that can cause anemia
• Low blood platelet counts that can stop your blood clotting and leave you vulnerable to bleeding problems

Cimzia drug interactions

Cimzia can interact with other medications, particularly:

• Kineret (anakinra), taken to treat rheumatoid arthritis
• Orencia (abatacept), taken to treat a range of autoimmune diseases
• Any other medications taken to treat your autoimmune disease, including Remicade (infliximab), Humira (adalimumab), Enbrel (etanercept), or Simponi (golimumab)
