Humira and Hyrimoz

[Me4749]

I used Humira for 20 odd years, it's excellent in many ways: somewhat relieves dry eyes and mouth that sjorgrens syndrome gives me a bit of; helps enormously with fatigue; reduces swelling of joints/ tissue. I have recently been switched to Hyrimoz which is a bio-similar. My resistance to infection seems worse, I've had various bad cold and chest infections since September - December. I began Hyrimoz in August.

Has anyone experienced similar?

I’m not on either of those biologics but it’s the time of year for colds etc so maybe it’s just that and nothing to do with the switch. If you’re concerned though then I would speak to your rheumy nurse for reassurance 😊

Hi I was out onto hyrimoz in August and since then I have had 3 uti's not sure if this is the medication but will ask consultant when I see them on 24th but I must say I have not had any flares maybe a few niggles.
