Description
Abatacept is used to treat symptoms of moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis, such as joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, in adult patients who have not been helped by other medicines. It may also be used to treat symptoms of moderate-to-severe juvenile idiopathic arthritis in children 6 years of age and older. Abatacept helps improve the physical functioning of the patient and slow the progression of damage to the body from arthritis. However, this medicine does not cure arthritis and will help you only as long as you continue to take it.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
