I’ve been on it since my transplant in 2016. I’ve had no problems with it whatsoever. Take it by infusion (30 minute drip) every 4 weeks.

I have been on belatacept for a little over a year. At first I would get a headache for like the day after but that went away after the third treatment or so.

What other immunosuppressive meds do you take with Bela?

I was taking everolimus but it was giving me liver issues so my transplant team put me back on mycophenolate. They told me that everolimus was the better option to be used with bela though.
