Cyltezo is used to treat moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, plaque psoriasis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and non-infectious uveitis.
Cyltezo is a biosimilar to adalimumab that works by binding to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a protein that causes inflammation. By blocking TNF-alpha, it reduces inflammatory responses and symptoms associated with autoimmune conditions.
Cyltezo is administered by subcutaneous injection and increases the risk of serious infections and certain cancers due to its immunosuppressive effects. Patients should be screened for tuberculosis before starting treatment. Common side effects include injection site reactions, upper respiratory infections, and headache.
