Orencia

Hello Everyone, I'm on Orencia, 3rd infusion, and I ache so bad. Just wondering if this is a side effect that goes away. If not, can't see continuing this drug. I want to give the drug a fair chance, but I don't know. Anybody else with the same experience?

Thanks

Dear ReneeFaye,

Hopefully some of our users on here will have experience of Abatacept (Orencia) but in the meantime if you have any concerns at all about side-effects, please do get in touch with your rheumatology team. Unfortunately Abatacept can take from 6-12 weeks to start working but hopefully it will start to work for you soon. There's more information on the ARUK website here: arthritisresearchuk.org/art...

Kind regards

Thanks so much. I will ask my rheumatologist. Thanks for the link. I'll take a look. Maybe I'm expecting too much, too soon.

Thank you.
