What Is Avsola®?
Avsola® is a prescription medicine used to treat certain chronic autoimmune diseases. It belongs to a group of medications called biologics, which are targeted therapies made from living cells rather than chemicals. As a biosimilar, Avsola is highly similar to an already approved biologic drug and adheres to the same standards for safety, strength, and effectiveness. It is administered through an IV infusion, usually at an outpatient infusion clinic like Healix.
How Avsola Works
Avsola works by blocking a protein in your immune system called tumor necrosis factor-alpha, or TNF-α. When your immune system wrongly attacks your healthy tissues, TNF-α helps drive that response and worsens symptoms like pain, swelling, and tissue damage.
Once infused into your bloodstream, Avsola travels throughout your body and attaches to TNF-α, stopping it from triggering the inflammation cycle. This action can ease your symptoms and help prevent further damage to affected areas, such as your joints, skin, or digestive tract.
