Description

Scapho 150 mg contains Secukinumab (Secukinumab Injection), a fully human monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to interleukin-17A (IL-17A), a cytokine involved in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. By inhibiting IL-17A, Secukinumab helps control inflammation, reduce skin lesions, and relieve joint symptoms.

Secukinumab blocks IL-17A, preventing it from interacting with its receptor. This reduces inflammatory responses responsible for skin plaques, joint swelling, stiffness, and pain.
