Drug Info for kevzara

Sarilumab injection is used alone or with other medications to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA: condition in which the body attacks its own joints causing pain, swelling, and loss of function) in adults who were not helped by other disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or when these medications could not be tolerated. Sarilumab injection is also used to treat polymyalgia rheumatica (disorder that causes muscle pain and weakness) in adults when other medications did not help or could not be tolerated. Sarilumab injection is in a class of medications called interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor inhibitors. It works by blocking the activity of interleukin-6, a substance in the body that causes inflammation.
