A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Kevzara (Sarilumab) is a monoclonal antibody that targets the interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor, a protein that plays a key role in the inflammatory process of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Classified as an immunosuppressant, Kevzara interferes with the IL-6 pathway to reduce inflammation and pain in individuals with RA. It's approved for patients who have had an inadequate response to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Administered through injection, Kevzara is a therapy option for adult patients battling moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis.
When using Kevzara, patients should administer it through a subcutaneous injection, which means the injection goes under the skin. The standard dosage for adults with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis is typically 200 mg once every two weeks. However, a healthcare provider may adjust the dosage to 150 mg if the patient experiences certain side effects such as neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, or elevated liver enzymes.
Before administering the Kevzara injection, users should allow the pre-filled syringe to warm up to room temperature for at least 30 minutes. It's also essential for patients to use the syringe within 14 days after removing it from the refrigerator to ensure its effectiveness. When traveling, patients should keep the medication in an insulated bag with an ice pack to maintain its integrity.
The active ingredient in Kevzara is Sarilumab. Inactive ingredients may include polysorbate 20, sucrose, and water for injection.
Patients who have a known allergic reaction to Sarilumab or any inactive ingredients in the formulation should avoid using Kevzara.
Kevzara side effects include reactions at the injection site such as redness and itching. It also frequently leads to upper respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, and symptoms like nasal congestion, sore throat, and runny nose. These side effects are typically manageable and do not always require medical intervention.
Kevzara can occasionally cause serious allergic reactions, which require immediate medical attention. Signs of a serious allergic reaction include difficulty breathing, dizziness or feeling faint, swelling of the lips, tongue, or face, severe stomach pain, chest pain, or vomiting. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is crucial to seek emergency medical help right away. Regular communication with your healthcare provider is important to manage and monitor for these potential reactions effectively.
