Humira Losing Effectiveness
Humira Losing Effectiveness
I have been on Humira for about 8 months. At the start it worked well, but for the past 2 months I have had flare ups. Has anyone else had the problem of a biologic that has stopped working? If so, what do you think caused it?
I'm seeing my Derm this week. I hope I can get some answers.
I am currently on cosentyx. It's two injections once a month. I have been on it for about three months and I'm about 95% clear. I had a bad flare up about a week ago on me.scalp and ears that was very painful. It started to clear up after about four days. I've been taking different medications for over 30 years and cosentyx is the only one that has worked so far.
Unfortunately that is a common occurrence. They tend to stop working after a while. Sometimes years and sometimes months... So you just have to keep trying until you find another that works...
ask your dermatologist about tremfya its a new drug injectable . Im still on my 29 week clinical trial things seem to be going very well. google to see if there are any clinical trials in your area its really been good for me plus u get paid too
I've never been on Stelara so i am not sure if the blood test is as useful as it is for Humira. Are you still on Methotrexate? My doc says that it helps prevent immunity to the biologicals.
They test for immunity via blood test. Since it targets a specific protein, the antibodies can be determined easily.
