Tocira-400 Infusion 20 ml

Question 1

How does Tocira-400 Infusion 20 ml work?

Accepted Answer

Tocira-400 Infusion 20 ml contains Tocilizumab, an immunosuppressant. It blocks the action of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a substance released by the body that causes inflammation. Thus, it helps in decreasing pain and inflammation in various diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and giant cell arteritis.

Question 2

How does Tocira-400 Infusion 20 ml work on COVID-19 infection?

Accepted Answer

When a person is infected with the coronavirus, his/her immune system responds in such a way that it sends useful immune chemicals to the affected areas of the lungs to fight the infection. However, in some people, this release of immune chemicals is overactive, resulting in a cytokine storm, an excessive immune response in the lungs. This can further lead to severe breathing complications in an infected person. Tocira-400 Infusion 20 ml reduces this cytokine storm and further prevents the inflammation and damage in the lungs of a COVID-19 infected person.
