Tocilizumab (RoActemra™) is a type of drug called a biological therapy. In some conditions too much of a protein called IL-6 is produced in the body, leading to tiredness, anaemia, inflammation and damage to bones, cartilage and other tissues. Tocilizumab blocks the action of IL-6, reducing these effects.
Tocilizumab isn't a painkiller, but can modify the disease over a longer period. It may be 2–12 weeks before you notice an improvement.
Tocilizumab can be prescribed by a rheumatologist for rheumatoid arthritis or juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
