3 Replies

bad effects with infliximab so suggested to go to entyvio so read up on that and now it’s humia?? I’ve read about it and still don’t know why this one would me? I’m UK so it’s not insurance? How do they make decisions. I haven’t had bloods done just had to stop after 2nd infliximab because it caused numbness , nerve damage in my face that is still a problem after 6 weeks. Honestly don’t want to start anything now but why humira?

I would not go with Humira because it's nearly identical to Remicade. Entyvio is released into the gut more so than the other biologics & it would be my choice.

You posted about this 11 days ago & received many replies. As far as dosage goes each medication has it's own protocol when it comes to dosage. Some meds are weight based. Your best bet is to go their website & read their information.
