Adalimumab-atto injection is used to treat the symptoms and prevent the progression of moderate to severely active rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. It is used in children 4 years of age and older for juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Adalimumab-atto is also used to treat psoriatic arthritis, which is a type of arthritis that causes pain and swelling in the joints along with patches of scaly skin on some areas of the body. Psoriatic arthritis usually occurs with a skin condition called psoriasis. Adalimumab-atto may be used alone or in combination with medicines (eg, methotrexate).

Adalimumab-atto injection is also used to treat the symptoms of active Crohn’s disease in patients who have not been helped by other medicines (eg, infliximab). It is also used to treat moderate to severe ulcerative colitis in patients who have been treated with other medicines (eg, azathioprine, corticosteroids, or 6-mercaptopurine) that did not work well. Adalimumab-atto may also be used to treat moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis, which is a skin disease with red patches and white scales that don’t go away.

Capsaicin is the active ingredient in chili peppers that makes them hot. Capsaicin is used in medicated creams and lotions to relieve muscle or joint pain.

Capsaicin used on the body causes a sensation of heat that activates certain nerve cells. With regular use of capsaicin, this heating effect reduces the amount of substance P, a chemical that acts as a pain messenger in the body.

Zostrix is used for temporary relief of muscle or joint pain caused by strains, sprains, arthritis, bruising, or backaches. This medicine is also used to treat nerve pain (neuralgia) in people who have had herpes zoster, or "shingles."

Zostrix may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
