    Glossary TNF inhibitors

    medications that block inflammation-causing proteins in autoimmune diseases

    TNF inhibitors, also known as Tumor Necrosis Factor inhibitors or TNF blockers, are medications that reduce inflammation by blocking the activity of TNF-alpha, a substance in the body that causes inflammation and can lead to immune system diseases. They are commonly used to treat autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease by preventing the immune system from attacking healthy tissues.
