Entyvio
Entyvio is a medication drug that works against inflammations. Classified as a selective immunosuppressant, Entyvio is generally used to treat ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease by reducing the requirement for the usage of steroids and controlling disease symptoms over long periods of time. Used in place of medication that was proven to be less effective, Entyvio works by reducing the chemicals in the body that cause specific types of inflammation.
