About this product

Overview

Eterna 50mg Capsule contains the active ingredient Etanercept. It belongs to a class of medications known as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. Etanercept is primarily used to treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and plaque psoriasis.

Uses

  1. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Eterna 50mg Capsule is indicated for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects the joints.
  2. Psoriatic Arthritis: It is used to treat psoriatic arthritis, a form of arthritis that affects some people with psoriasis.
  3. Ankylosing Spondylitis: Eterna 50mg Capsule is also prescribed for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that primarily affects the spine.
  4. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: It may be used in the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, a chronic childhood arthritis.
  5. Plaque Psoriasis: Etanercept is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune skin disorder characterized by raised, red, and scaly patches.

Mechanism of Action

Etanercept works by inhibiting the activity of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. By blocking TNF-alpha, Etanercept helps reduce inflammation and halt the progression of autoimmune disorders.

Dosage and Administration

  • The dosage of Eterna 50mg Capsule and the frequency of administration depend on the specific autoimmune disease being treated and the patient’s response to therapy.
  • It is usually administered by subcutaneous injection. Patients may be instructed to self-administer the injections after proper training by a healthcare professional.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Etanercept therapy may include injection site reactions, headache, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and upper respiratory tract infections. Serious side effects such as infections, allergic reactions, liver problems, and neurological disorders may occur less frequently.

Precautions

  • Patients receiving treatment with Eterna 50mg Capsule should be monitored for signs of infection, including fever, chills, cough, and sore throat.
  • Etanercept may increase the risk of certain infections, including bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. Patients should avoid close contact with individuals who have contagious infections.
  • Patients with a history of congestive heart failure, demyelinating disorders, or malignancies should use Etanercept with caution.

Storage

  • Store Eterna 50mg Capsule at the recommended temperature, away from light and moisture.
  • Keep the capsules in the original packaging and out of reach of children.
