Integrin receptor antagonists (Vedolizumab)

Описание: Think all IBD meds hit your whole immune system?

Not vedolizumab!

This gut-selective medication targets inflammation right where you need it—your digestive tract—without suppressing your entire immune system. Vedolizumab works by blocking special “signposts” (integrins) in the gut, stopping excess immune cells from flooding in and causing pain, diarrhea, and fatigue.

Because it acts mainly in your gut, you get powerful inflammation control with fewer whole-body side effects, making it a great choice for those who want to avoid the risks of broader immune suppression.

By blocking just one pathway, vedolizumab can help calm your IBD without putting your whole immune system on pause.
