Treatment Options for Crohn's Disease
While there's no cure for Crohn's disease, there are many treatment options, including the following:
- Aminosalicylates (5-ASA), used to help treat mild to moderate Crohn's disease
- Corticosteroids, like prednisone, used to help treat moderate to severe Crohn's disease
- Immune modifiers, used to help treat moderate to severe disease and those who are steroid dependent
- Antibiotics used to help treat infectious complications of Crohn's disease
- Biologic therapies, such as TNF blockers, used to help treat moderate to severe Crohn's disease that has not
responded adequately to conventional therapy (commonly used treatments)
- Surgery, used when medications no longer control symptoms or to correct complications of Crohn's disease
HUMIRA Treatment
If you're looking for a Crohn's disease treatment, HUMIRA may be right for you. HUMIRA is a TNF-α blocker approved to treat adults with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease. HUMIRA can work fast - many people have experienced a response in just 4 weeks. It can reduce or help stop many
Crohn's disease symptoms, like abdominal cramps, persistent diarrhea and fatigue. Plus, HUMIRA can relieve flare-ups for periods of time (known as remission) with continued therapy.
HUMIRA is not right for everyone. Talk to your doctor today to find out if HUMIRA may be right for you.
