Entyvio: Uses, How it Works & Common Side Effects
Entyvio is used for ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease to help improve symptoms, induce remission, and may also reduce the need for steroid medicines to control symptoms long-term.
Video transcript
Entyvio is a selective immunosuppressant that works to control inflammation and symptoms of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease by preventing too many white blood cells from entering your gastrointestinal tract.
Entyvio works selectively in the gut to decrease inflammation and does not usually lead to system-wide immunosuppression.
Entyvio infusion is used for ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. Entyvio Pen or prefilled syringe is used for the maintenance treatment of ulcerative colitis and is given as an injection under the skin.
The most common side effects of Entyvio include fever, sore throat, flu symptoms; cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sinus pain, sneezing, cough with mucus, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, pain in your arms or legs, tiredness, headache, joint pain, back pain, rash, itching, or nausea.

Ovulation Animation
This animation shows the process of ovulation (the release a single egg cell from an ovary). Ovulation occurs though a sequence of hormonal responses. Located deep within the brain, the pituitary gland releases the hormones FSH and LH, which travel through the blood stream to the ovaries. These hormones signal the development and release a single egg cell from one of the ovaries. The sweeping motion of the fimbriae draws the egg cell through a very small space in the open body cavity into the uterine, or fallopian, tube. The egg cell will either be fertilized by sperm or will dissolve if fertilization does not take place.
