Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Inhibitor Drugs are mainly used in the treatment of cancers and infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), an essential protein required for the repair and regrowth of tissues in our body, is the main cause of alopecia. Tumor Necrosis Factor is also known as TNF is an enzyme that is normally produced by the body when it is under attack from viruses or bacteria. The damage to the vital proteins is usually caused by inflammation. This is the main factor responsible for our hair loss.
When
there is an imbalance between the production of the TNF and the attack on the
vital protein by cancer cells, a chain reaction takes place. The cancer cells
are able to enter the bloodstream and destroy the hair follicles causing hair
to fall out in large numbers. There are certain drugs, however, which help
prevent the production of TNF. These drugs are called Tumor Necrosis Factor(TNF) Inhibitor Drugs
Inhibitors
work by stopping the signals that are sent by the body to the cancer cells to
stop attacking hair follicles. Once the inhibitor is in place, however, the
body is still able to produce TNF as it is a normal protein.
Tumor
Necrosis Factor (TNF) Inhibitor Drugs are mainly used in the treatment of
cancers and infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS. However, they have been shown
to be very effective in the treatment of alopecia areata. Some doctors use them
for patients with milder forms of alopecia.
Tumor
Necrosis Factor (TNF) Inhibitor Drugs are available both over the counter and
via a prescription. They can be taken by mouth as pills, patches, or
intravenously in the form of intravenous injectable tablets. Accutane and
Rogaine are some Inhibitor Drugs that are available only for the treatment of
tumors that have already grown and are located near the hair follicles.
