Epitaz 100mg Injection is a medication containing the active ingredient Etanercept. Etanercept is a biologic drug that works by targeting and neutralizing a specific protein in the body called Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). TNF-alpha is a key player in the inflammatory processes that contribute to various autoimmune diseases. By blocking TNF-alpha, Epitaz helps to reduce inflammation, pain, swelling, and joint damage associated with these conditions.
