Adaly 40mg

Adaly 40mg Adalimumab 40mg Injection is a medication used to treat:

• Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation, stiffness, and pain in the joints
• Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA): a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation, stiffness, and pain in the joints, as well as skin and nail symptoms

Composition: Each vial of Adaly contains 40mg of Adalimumab (an active pharmaceutical ingredient), a tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitor.
