I've been on Benepali for 10 weeks now and my nasal congestion is driving me crazy. Does this side effect ever subside? 😭

It did for me but took a few months to gradually get better. 🤞🏻 it’s not too long for you.

I have been on Ebceptra for about 8yrs . I do suffer sinus problems on and off but I did not associate it with my drugs

Hi Yeah I have sinus problems anyway but oh my they got so much worse from the day I started benapali, had nose bleeds was not good for a few months but it did subside. Just keep in touch with your RA nurses for advice. Xxx

I have been taking Benepali since 2018, I have never had problems of this kind, but when I had a cold that evolved into bronchitis my rheumatologist made me stop it for two weeks, maybe you should talk to your doctor!

I had some nasal congestion and weight loss plus it did not work for me so switched to the proper stuff and no issues and it works

Hello been on Benapali two years lots of sinus issues made worse with the Benapali some good periods but definitely made congestion worse. However when I think of the alternative not being able to move I just accept it. I have seen several specialists who tell me it’s like asthma of the sinuses it will flare up and to keep washing out nasal passages with salt water. I use Sterimar daily. Maybe you should give it a try. Good luck
