Copellor Injection
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Copellor Injection is a medicine used to treat psoriatic arthritis, a condition that causes joint pain, stiffness, and swelling in people with psoriasis. Copellor Injection targets a specific part of the immune system to reduce inflammation and prevent joint and skin damage in patients with psoriatic arthritis.
Copellor Injection is given as an injection under the skin, usually by a doctor or a nurse. It can also be self-administered after proper training. Follow the dosing schedule provided by your doctor to get the best result. Following your treatment plan properly will help you achieve the maximum benefit from the medicine.
Common side effects of Copellor Injection include injection site reactions (like redness or pain), upper respiratory infections, nausea, and tinea infections. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own. However, if you experience severe side effects like signs of an allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing) or signs of infection (fever, chills, persistent sore throat), contact your doctor immediately.
While on treatment with Copellor Injection, avoid getting live vaccines and be cautious around people who are sick, as the medication can weaken your immune system. Inform your doctor if you have a history of tuberculosis, Crohn's disease, or any chronic infections before starting the treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using Copellor Injection. Regular check-ups and blood tests may be necessary to monitor your response to the treatment and ensure there are no adverse effects.
