Etanercept Injection 25 mg

Etanercept (Etacept) is a biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD) that selectively binds to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), preventing it from interacting with cell surface TNF receptors. By reducing inflammatory signaling, Etacept helps control symptoms, slow disease progression, and improve quality of life in patients with autoimmune conditions.

This medicine is administered via subcutaneous injection and is intended for long-term systemic immune modulation under physician supervision.
