As for taking your drugs, it all depends on how major an extraction it was. Best to ask your dentist or rheumy.

Personally I had a largish second one in from the back out on Thursday and was due to inject Abatacept but I will not inject until next week. I have still taken hydroxy 200mg (only 1 a day) but whether I should have left that out as well I don't know - if it does not heal well over the next day I will stop that for a couple of days as well but going on OK at the moment.

Thank you for your replies. Have decided to inject on sun or Mon instead.
