Yes. I have been on it for about 2 years and working great for me. No side effects. The only thing I sont like is that it is not an auto injector like Talt that I was on for 2+years, it is basically a plunger! But it is only every 8 weeks instead of 4. Remember that what works for one doesn’t work for another but it has been good so far for me. There are lots of options so don’t give up! Good Luck!

Has Tremfya helped with psoriatic arthritis pain?

Yes, Tremfya (guselkumab) has shown promising results for psoriatic arthritis. A recent study found that about 60 percent of participants with PsA saw meaningful improvement in joint-related symptoms and quality of life after just 16 weeks of treatment.

Tremfya is a biologic medication that was approved by the FDA in 2017 to treat both moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis. It works by targeting specific parts of the immune system that cause inflammation.

The medication is given as an injection under the skin. While results vary from person to person, the study showed that many people experienced significant relief from their joint pain and other PsA symptoms within a relatively short timeframe.

It's worth noting that Tremfya has also been studied across different skin tones, showing effectiveness in diverse populations - which is important since people with darker skin tones often face delays in diagnosis and may experience more severe symptoms.

If you're considering Tremfya or wondering if it might help your pain, it's best to discuss this option with your rheumatologist or dermatologist to see if it's right for your specific situation.
