Introduction

Saril Tablet is a medication primarily used to manage conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. It contains Sarilumab as its active ingredient, a monoclonal antibody that works by targeting and inhibiting interleukin-6 (IL-6), a substance in the body that contributes to inflammation. By blocking IL-6, Saril helps reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling, improving overall joint function and reducing the symptoms associated with autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

Uses of Saril Tablet

• Management of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis in adults
• Reduces inflammation, pain, and swelling in patients with autoimmune disorders
• Improves joint function and mobility in individuals with chronic inflammatory conditions

How Saril Tablet works

Saril Tablet works by blocking the activity of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a cytokine that plays a key role in the inflammatory process in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. By inhibiting IL-6, Saril reduces the inflammatory response in the body, which helps to decrease swelling, pain, and joint damage. This action aids in the improvement of symptoms and the prevention of further joint degradation.

Benefits of Saril Tablet

• Reduces inflammation and relieves pain associated with autoimmune diseases.
• Helps improve joint function, allowing better mobility and less stiffness.
• Can reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups in rheumatoid arthritis.
• Offers an alternative treatment option for individuals who have not responded well to other therapies.
