Pharmacology
TNF-alpha blocker; adalimumab-bwwd is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to TNF-alpha and blocks its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors, also lysing surface TNF-expressing cells in vitro in the presence of complement.
Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties that suppresses inflammatory processes (edema, capillary dilatation, leukocyte migration), modifies immune responses, and produces metabolic effects including promotion of gluconeogenesis, protein catabolism, and altered calcium and electrolyte balance.
