Simponi Aria (golimumab) is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It is a type of biologic medication that works by blocking certain proteins in the body that contribute to inflammation and joint damage.
The active substance in Simponi, golimumab, is a monoclonal antibody. Golimumab has been designed to attach to and block a substance in the body called tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a). This substance is involved in causing inflammation and is found at elevated levels in patients with the diseases that Simponi is used to treat.
TBy blocking TNF-a, golimumab reduces inflammation and other symptoms of these diseases.
