Actemra is a biologic therapy used to treat moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis in adults and children (such as systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis-SJIA, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis-PJIA). It helps to reduce pain and swelling due to rheumatoid arthritis. Actemra may also be used to treat a reaction (Cytokine Release Syndrome-CRS) caused by certain cancer treatments. Actemra belongs to a class of drugs known as Interleukin-6 (IL-6) blockers. It works by blocking IL-6, a substance made by the body that causes swelling.
