How Scapho Injection 1 Works?
Scapho Injection 1 contains the following active component:
- Secukinumab (150 mg): It is a monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to interleukin-17A (IL-17A), a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. By blocking IL-17A activity, it helps reduce inflammation, skin lesions, joint pain, and swelling associated with psoriasis and related disorders.
Safety Measures & Warnings
Pregnancy
Scapho Injection 1 should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed and prescribed by your doctor. Limited data are available regarding its safety during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding
Consult your doctor before using Scapho Injection 1 while breastfeeding. Limited information is available regarding the passage of secukinumab into breast milk. The medicine should be used cautiously in breastfeeding women, and the benefits of treatment should outweigh any potential risks to the infant.
Alcohol
Alcohol consumption should be limited, as excessive alcohol intake may worsen inflammatory conditions and increase the risk of infections.
Liver
No dose adjustment is generally required in patients with liver impairment. However, Scapho Injection 1 should be used under medical supervision.

No dose adjustment is generally required in patients with kidney impairment. However, Scapho Injection 1 should be used under medical supervision.

Scapho Injection 1 may be used in children for certain approved indications only under specialist medical supervision and according to the prescribed dosage.

Older adults can use Scapho Injection 1 as prescribed. However, they may require closer monitoring due to a potentially higher risk of infections.
Interactions of Scapho Injection 1
Drug-Drug Interactions
Scapho Injection 1 may interact with the following medicines:
- Immunosuppressant medicines such as methotrexate or cyclosporine: Concurrent use may further suppress immune function and increase the risk of infections.
- Live vaccines such as measles or varicella vaccines: Live vaccines should generally be avoided during treatment, as immune responses may be reduced and infection risk may increase.
- Corticosteroid medicines such as prednisolone: Combined use may increase susceptibility to infections due to additive immunosuppressive effects.
- Biologic medicines such as adalimumab: Concurrent use with other biologic immune-modulating medicines may increase the risk of serious infections and immune-related complications.
- Medicines affecting immune function, such as azathioprine: Combined use may increase the risk of infections and require close medical monitoring.
Drug-Disease Interactions
Scapho Injection 1 may interact with diseases/conditions, including:
- Active infections: Patients with ongoing infections should use this medicine cautiously, as immune suppression may worsen infections.
- Tuberculosis: Patients should be screened for tuberculosis before starting treatment, as latent tuberculosis may become active during therapy. Treatment for latent tuberculosis may be required before initiating Scapho Injection 1.
- Inflammatory bowel disease: Secukinumab may worsen Crohn’s disease or other inflammatory bowel conditions in some patients.
