How it works

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

Infliximab products neutralize the biological activity of TNFα by binding with high affinity to the soluble and transmembrane forms of TNFα and inhibit binding of TNFα with its receptors.

Infliximab products do not neutralize TNFβ (lymphotoxin-α), a related cytokine that utilizes the same receptors as TNFα.

Half-life7.7–9.5 days
Mostly cleared after≈ 6 weeksfive half-lives — our arithmetic
