• Scapho 150 mg Injection is used to improve the symptoms of certain autoimmune diseases, such as ankylosing spondylitis, chronic plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and enthesitis-related arthritis. Scapho 150 Injection is an immunosuppressive medicine that reduces the effects of a chemical in the body that can cause inflammation.

Benefits of Scapho 150 mg Injection

  Ankylosing spondylitis: Ankylosing spondylitis is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints, particularly the sacroiliac joints at the base of the spine, and can lead to chronic pain and stiffness. Scapho 150 mg Injection can relieve pain, swelling or stiffness in the spine and joints. It improves flexibility and prevents the condition from getting worse.

  Non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis: Non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) is a type of inflammatory arthritis that affects the axial skeleton, which includes the spine and pelvis. It is similar to ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but in nr-axSpA, there is no visible damage or fusion of the joints on X-rays or other imaging tests.
