Biologic Medications
Targeted Immunotherapy
Biologic medications are advanced therapies derived from living cells that target specific components of the immune system. These precision treatments have revolutionized care for complex autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
What are Biologics?
Biologic medications are complex molecules made from living organisms, including proteins, antibodies, and other biological substances. They work by targeting specific pathways in the immune system that drive inflammation and disease progression.
- Derived from living cells
- Target specific immune pathways
- More precise than traditional drugs
How They Work
Unlike traditional medications that broadly suppress the immune system, biologics target specific inflammatory proteins or cells. This targeted approach can provide better disease control with potentially fewer side effects.
- Block inflammatory proteins
- Modulate immune cell activity
- Reduce disease progression
Conditions Treated with Biologics
Biologic therapy has transformed treatment for many chronic autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the joints, causing pain, swelling, and eventual joint damage if untreated.
Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease causing inflammation of the digestive tract, leading to abdominal pain, diarrhea, and malnutrition.
Ulcerative Colitis
Chronic inflammatory condition affecting the colon and rectum, causing ulcers, bleeding, and digestive symptoms.
Multiple Sclerosis
Autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system, causing neurological symptoms and disability.
