How do integrin inhibitors work?
Integrin inhibitors block a cell surface protein that helps inflammatory cells exit the bloodstream and enter into tissues causing inflammation.

Integrin inhibitors can be given either as an IV infusion or subcutaneous injection.
Depending on the medication, you may begin with starter doses.
For maintenance treatment, medication may be given either as an IV infusion every 4 or 8 weeks or as a subcutaneous injection every 2 weeks.
