I was previously on Avsola and had great results for both my skin and joints better than I had with Remicade. I relocated and the practice I go to now uses Inflectra. Has anyone had good luck with it? I know they say they are basically the same drug but again my skin was much clearer with Avsola than when I was on Remicade.

Has anyone had good results with Inflectra for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis?

Finding the right medication can be a journey, and it's completely understandable to feel concerned about switching treatments when you've had such great results with Avsola.

Has anyone had good results with Inflectra for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis?

Finding the right medication can be a journey, and it's completely understandable to feel concerned about switching treatments when you've had such great results with Avsola.

While Inflectra, Avsola, and Remicade are all biosimilars or versions of the same medication (infliximab), individual responses can vary. Some people notice differences between these medications even though they're designed to work similarly.

What matters most is how your body responds. Many people do find success with Inflectra for both skin and joint symptoms, though everyone's experience is unique. It's worth giving it a fair trial while staying in close contact with your dermatology team.

Keep track of how your skin and joints respond over the first few months. If you notice your symptoms aren't as well-controlled as they were on Avsola, don't hesitate to discuss this with your doctor. They may be able to adjust your treatment plan or explore other options.

Your experience with Avsola working better than Remicade shows you're tuned into how your body responds to different treatments - that awareness will serve you well as you try Inflectra.
