AbbVie Inc. (ABBV) Tuesday said Health Canada approved Rinvoq for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to methotrexate.

The North Chicago, Ill., biopharmaceutical company said Rinvoq can be used as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate or other nonbiologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs.

AbbVie last year received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Commission for Rinvoq for adults with rheumatoid arthritis.
