Overview

Entyvio is a medicine used to treat adult patients with ulcerative colitis (a disease causing inflammation and ulcers in the lining of the bowel) or Crohn’s disease (a disease causing inflammation of the digestive tract). Entyvio is used to treat moderately to severely active disease when conventional therapy or medicines called TNF-alfa antagonists are ineffective, no longer effective, or cannot be tolerated by the patient.

Entyvio is also used for the treatment of adult patients with ongoing (chronic) pouchitis (a disease causing inflammation of a pouch created during certain types of surgery where the large intestine in people with ulcerative colitis is removed). Entyvio is used to treat moderately to severely active disease when antibiotic therapy is ineffective or no longer effective.
