Introduction of KYNTELES 300MG INJECTION
Kynteles 300mg injection contains the active component of vedolizumab, which belongs to the group of biological medicines known as monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). It is used as a treatment option for adults dealing with moderate to severe cases of ulcerative colitis (inflammation of the large bowel), Crohn's disease (inflammation affecting the digestive system), and chronic pouchitis (inflammation of the lining of a pouch created during surgery to treat ulcerative colitis). In these three conditions, your initial course of treatment will typically involve other medications. If you do not respond well to them or experience intolerable side effects, your doctor may prescribe Kynteles 300mg injection to help alleviate the signs and symptoms of your condition.

Benefits Of KYNTELES 300MG INJECTION
Kynteles 300 mg Injection consists of Vedolizumab as an active ingredient, which belongs to the class of integrin receptor antagonists. It works by binding to the chemical substance called α4β7 integrin (present on the surface of the WBC that enters the gut), which is responsible for inflammation. This alters the gene expression of blood monocytes and thus helps reduce inflammation and is used in the treatment of moderately to severe Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative colitis.
