What are the Benefits of Biologic Therapies in Pediatrics?
The primary benefits of biologic therapies include:
- Targeted Action: By focusing on specific components of the immune system, biologics can reduce disease activity with potentially fewer side effects compared to traditional systemic therapies. - Improved Quality of Life: Many pediatric patients experience significant improvements in symptoms, leading to enhanced quality of life and physical function. - Reduced Disease Progression: In conditions like JIA and IBD, biologics can slow disease progression and prevent long-term damage.
