How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Ilaris). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Canakinumab is a human monoclonal anti-human IL-1β antibody of the IgG1/κ isotype.

Canakinumab binds to human IL-1β and neutralizes its activity by blocking its interaction with IL-1 receptors, but it does not bind IL-1α or IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra).

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
