Amgevita and nausea / appetite loss?

[Katie-Mag]

I started taking Amgevita in January, it has had a fantastic impact on my joints.

However during the same period I’ve been experiencing a real loss of appetite and nausea especially in the mornings (& I’m certainly not pregnant!).

Has anyone else had a similar issue with Amgevita?

Hi Katie-mag. I have only started on Amgevita this week but no appetite loss or nausea for me as yet. No side effects in fact so am really counting my blessings. I could do with a loss of appetite as eating everything I can get my hands on but am still on steroids at the moment. I do hope that the cause of your nausea and appetite loss can be identified soon as not a nice thing to have. x

Hi Kate iv just started on it too I'm about 10 days in and I am experiencing nausea also. I know you posted a while ago... did the nausea go off ? Or where you prescribed anti sickness meds?

Hello Lorna, thanks for your message. I’m feeling much better now. My consultant believed that the nausea wasn’t a result of the Amgevita.I did try an anti nausea drug (Cyclizine) but it made me really sleepy and didn’t really impact on my nausea.

Hope you feel much better soon!
