Description

Inflectra is a biosimilar medication used primarily for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. It works by inhibiting tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a substance in the body that causes inflammation.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that Inflectra may be referred to by its brand name or as a biosimilar, which can lead to confusion with other TNF inhibitors. It is important to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial terms. Stick to the term 'Inflectra' in clinical contexts to ensure clarity.
