🔹 How It Works
Etanercept binds to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), an inflammatory protein involved in autoimmune diseases. By blocking TNF activity, INTACEPT helps reduce inflammation, decreases joint damage, and relieves symptoms such as pain, swelling, and stiffness. This mechanism also helps improve physical function and quality of life in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions.
