Abatacept: Important Side Effects You Should Know & 3 Good Alternative Answers

What is Abatacept Used For?

Abatacept is a biologic medication used to treat autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It works by inhibiting the activation of T-cells, which play a key role in the immune system’s inflammatory response. By modulating the immune system, Abatacept helps reduce inflammation, pain, and joint damage. However, it can cause side effects that need to be monitored closely.

Possible Side Effects of Abatacept

Abatacept can cause several side effects, particularly with long-term use. Some common and serious side effects include:

  • Increased risk of infections, including respiratory infections and tuberculosis
  • Headaches or dizziness
  • Nausea or stomach upset
  • Risk of certain cancers due to immune system suppression
  • Liver issues, which require regular liver function monitoring
  • Rare allergic reactions, including rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing

It is important to monitor for infections and have regular check-ups during treatment with Abatacept.
