Which biologic to take? Help!

Hello everyone. Looking for your collective wisdom and advice. Benapali has stopped working and I’ve been offered one of three biologic medications and I can choose! Bit which one? Any advice between Abatacept injections, Rituximab infusions or Baricitinib tables (jak inhibitor). Anyone got any good thoughts? Thank you so much xxx

Personally, I prefer a biologic that I can inject myself, rather than having an infusion which would require an IV to be inserted and a visit to an infusion site, such as a hospital.

I also prefer injectable to tablets, as it does not have the same effect on my digestive system.

Not what you're looking for?
