The Benefits of Offering In-Office Biologics to Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients
New research and an increased awareness of Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) shows that the disease affects more people than previously thought, leading to the realization that treatment access is vital.
Recent statistics indicate that approximately 0.2-0.5% of the adult population in the United States is affected by AS.
As a physician, managing this condition effectively for your patients is paramount. Offering in-office biologic therapies is an innovative approach that can significantly enhance patient care, and partnering with Altus Biologics can streamline this process.

Biologic Drugs and Their Impact on Ankylosing Spondylitis
Biologic drugs are advanced medications derived from living cells that target specific immune system components.
For AS patients, biologics, such as TNF and IL-17 and IL-12/23 inhibitors, have revolutionized disease management by reducing inflammation, slowing disease progression, and improving quality of life.
Benefits of Biologic Therapy for Ankylosing Spondylitis
Targeted Action: Biologics specifically target the molecules involved in the inflammatory process of AS, providing more precise treatment than conventional drugs.
Reduced Symptoms: Patients often experience significant reductions in pain, stiffness, and fatigue, leading to improved daily functioning.
Slowed Disease Progression: Early intervention with biologics can slow the progression of spinal damage.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Biologics help patients lead more active and fulfilling lives by managing symptoms more effectively.
Why Patients Prefer In-Office Biologic Treatments
Convenience: Receiving treatment in a familiar environment saves patients time and travel, especially those with limited mobility due to AS.
Continuity of Care: Patients appreciate the continuity of care when their rheumatologist administers the treatment, ensuring better monitoring and adjustments as needed.
Personalized Experience: An in-office setting allows for a more personalized and comfortable experience compared to the often impersonal environment of hospitals or outpatient clinics.
Immediate Support: As their trusted healthcare provider, you can promptly address immediate reactions or concerns.
