Abstract
Anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (anti-TNF) agents are frequently used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Currently, there are 4 anti-TNF therapies that are Food and Drug Administration-approved for moderate to severe IBD: infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab, and certolizumab pegol. For most noninfectious, nonmalignant adverse events, cessation of anti-TNF therapy typically leads to improvement or resolution of drug-induced complications. In this article, the current knowledge regarding the noninfectious and nonmalignant toxicities associated with anti-TNF agents is summarized.Entities:
