Anyone currently on Kevzara?

I’m been cleared to start Kevzara and was wondering if anyone else is currently taking it. I’ve run out of things to try and because I had great luck with another IL6 blocker (Actemra), I’m hoping this goes well.

You might find some previous posts if you put sarilumab in the search box.

I have been on Kevzara for 18 months and it is working reasonably well. The first 6 months I had repeated chest/sinus infections so they lowered the dose and for a year now I have had no infections at all! I am on Methotrexate injections as well. It does sting a bit when it goes in but stops instantly on completion. It suits me so I really hope it works for you.

I missed your answer earlier. I’m so sorry. I’m doing pretty well with it. I can’t take MTX so I’m taking it alone. I’m going on my 10th week today so I’m hopeful. Thank you for the kind reply.
