HUMIRA is a TNF Blocker

HUMIRA is a medicine called a TNF blocker and works by binding to TNF-alpha, a substance made by your body’s immune system. People with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) have too much TNF-alpha in their bodies. The extra TNF-alpha can attack healthy body tissue and cause inflammation in the affected areas. HUMIRA can help block the damage that too much TNF-alpha can cause and can help reduce the pain and stiffness associated with AS.
