Biologics are safe for Chron's and some have actually been approved by the FDA for treating Chron's Disease.

Some of the FDA approved biologics for Chron's include.

Adalimumab (Humira)
Adalimumab-adbm (Cyltezo), a biosimilar to Humira.
Adalimumab-atto (Amgevita), also a biosimilar to Humira.
Certolizumab (Cimzia)
Infliximab (Remicade)
Infliximab-abda (Renflexis), a biosimilar to Remicade.

Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

It causes inflammation of your digestive tract, which can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition.

Inflammation caused by Crohn's disease can involve different areas of the digestive tract in different people.

The Crohn's disease is a pretty serious disease and just as serious as cancer is and left untreated the Crohn's disease can lead to more serious complications and possibly death as well.

Crohn's disease does not go away on it's own and treatment is the only way to help Crohn's disease go away or at least partially go away.

Crohn's disease usually gets worse and sometimes leads to more serious complications when the Crohn's disease is left untreated.

Early Signs of Crohn's Disease are abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, anemia, and fatigue, loss of appetite, fever and even intestinal bleeding.

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that affects the lining of the digestive tract and it's also known as ileitis.

Crohn's disease can cause you to have symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, anemia, and fatigue, loss of appetite, fever and even intestinal bleeding.

Some people who have Crohn's disease may be symptom free for most of their lives, while other people can have severe chronic symptoms that never go away.

There's no cure for Crohn's disease but you should see a doctor because the Chron's disease can get severe enough to be life threatening.
