If you use a search engine (eg google, but there are others) and put in the drug name you should be able to find the manufacturer's site. For example, Humira is made by AbVie and they have a site humira.com that gives the info.

If you just want general information about all the biologicals then the best site is NRAS.org.uk as they have a downloadable booklet on biologicals.

Hiya mossgiel. If you're able to track down when the specific drugs were licenced for use you should find all the spec there. Obviously it will all be in medical blurb but it you have a medical background then it should make sense. Alternatively the data from each stage of each drug's trial may give you specifics. You may find some information isn't easily accessible unless you are a health professional & able to log in but would think you wouldn't need to ask the question if that was the case. Each drug company has information about their drugs on their sites, it depends what depth of information you're needing.

You don't say why you need this information but if it's a case of options for you your Rheumy should be abe to discuss this with you in simple terms or even if it's personal experience of biologics you're needing you could also ask the question on this site on another post. Is it one particular drug or all biologics you're needing info on?

One of them is Roche. Bug when you give the name you Will find it all on the internet.

I starten today by infuse with Roactemra/Tocilizumab. Wish you the best.

You can find the 'summary of product characteristics' and patient information leaflets at medicines.org.uk/emc/ for a lot of licensed medications. Hope that helps.
