Abstract
Biological therapies may herald the cure for rheumatoid arthritis. Targeted biologic therapies have changed the outcome of this disease. Tocilizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody against the interleukin-6 receptor and has been approved in many countries for the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. A number of clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of tocilizumab in active rheumatoid arthritis. This review summarizes the data on the safety and dosage of this drug.
