Description

Golimumab injection is used to treat the symptoms of moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis (arthritis in the spine or backbone).

Psoriatic arthritis usually occurs with a skin condition called psoriasis. Golimumab may be used alone or in combination with other arthritis medicines, such as methotrexate (Rheumatrex®, Trexall®), sulfasalazine (Azulfidine®), hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil®), corticosteroids (cortisone-like medicines), or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
