Igura Tablet 25 mg contains Iguratimod, a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. It helps reduce inflammation, relieve joint pain, and slow the progression of joint damage. Iguratimod is particularly useful in patients who do not respond adequately to conventional therapies.

This medication works by modulating the immune response and is used under medical supervision for long-term management of autoimmune joint disorders.

Composition
