Vedolizumab takes a gut-selective approach that sets it apart from the systemic TNF-inhibitors and other biologics in our immunotherapy catalogue — rather than suppressing immune activity throughout the entire body, it specifically blocks immune cells from migrating into the gastrointestinal tract, which gives it a genuinely more favorable systemic side-effect profile and makes it a preferred option for gastroenterologists managing inflammatory bowel disease in patients where broader immunosuppression carries additional risk.

• Approved indications: Moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, chronic pouchitis (in adults who haven't responded adequately to conventional therapy)
• Mechanism: Blocks the α4β7 integrin, an adhesion molecule that immune cells use to migrate specifically into gut tissue — inhibiting inflammation locally rather than suppressing immunity systemically
• Typical treatment course: Full response can take up to 14 weeks to become apparent, particularly in more severe Crohn's disease cases, an important expectation-setting point for prescribing physicians
• Long-term therapy: Treatment is generally reviewed every 12 months to confirm continued benefit, with many patients remaining on it for extended periods

• Contraindications: Under 18 years of age; known allergy to vedolizumab or its components; active severe infection (TB, sepsis, severe gastroenteritis, nervous system infection)
• Drug interaction caution: Should not be combined with other immunosuppressive biologics such as natalizumab or rituximab
• Liver risk: Can cause significant liver injury in rare cases, potentially requiring liver transplant — contraindicated in patients with severe liver disorder or jaundice
• PML risk: Rare but serious risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy — patients and physicians should be alert to neurological symptoms (blurred vision, speech difficulty, limb weakness, gait changes)
• Vaccination: May affect vaccine response — inform physician of planned or recent vaccinations
• Contraception requirement: Required during treatment and for a minimum of 4.5 months after the final dose

How long does it take to work?
