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.

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.
