Where is canakinumab administered and how long does it take to take effect?

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the main causes of death in the world. The "China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2020" reports that the number of people suffering from CVD in my country is about 330 million, making it the leading cause of death in our country. The causes of CVD are complex, and it is currently believed that CVD is inseparable from inflammatory response. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) family cytokines are important mediators of inflammatory responses. A large amount of research data shows that IL-1 family members and their receptors are involved in the occurrence and development of CVD. The IL-1 family affects the occurrence and development of CVD by regulating inflammation. Blocking the pro-inflammatory effect of IL-1 family factors can delay the course of CVD to a certain extent. (Canakinumab) is mainly approved for the treatment of immuno-inflammatory diseases such as Still's disease, acute gouty arthritis, and colchicine-resistant familial Mediterranean fever in adults. So, where is canakinumab administered and how long does it take for it to take effect?

Everyone's physical fitness and condition are different. A doctor should formulate the most accurate medication plan based on your test results.
