Was probably Remicade, it blocks Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha which is a main component to the inflamation response. If you are currently experiencing a cytokine storm (which is basically run away inflamation) it will do the trick quite quickly. It is basically an artifical antibody that binds to free TNF alpha and doesn't let it interact with cells to cause its normal immune response. Very effective, and it is an IV delivered drug so it immediately starts binding to the factors that are causing the inflamation. I took it before for Ankylosing Spondylitis and you can feel better quite quickly.
If its not Remicade it is probably something in that family of therapies and would have similar quick effects against a cytokine storm.
