Will Yuflyma and Amgevita have different side effects

[Bhlen1963]

I have suffered from uvitis since I was 30 years old I am 61 now. It coursed me to have RA in left ankle and right knee .Was put on MTX which worked for 20 years then in lock down I had a massive uvitis flare up so I was but on a TNF blocker Amgevita which worked well for me .But I got a letter from the NHS that they were changing me on to Yuflyma as it was cheaper to produce. I have been on this drug for six weeks and I am getting trouble stomach pains and indigestion I had no side effects on the Amgevita has anyone else had these problems.

Hi,I'm the same as you have been changed over,though I'm on it for hidradenitis suppurativa,I've not noticed any nasty side effects as yet but have only used for 2 weeks and feel as though my hs is deteriorating in these 2 weeks,only hope that this is a coincidence x

have you looked at other causes for this as injections don’t go into your stomach and those symptoms aren’t listed as possible side effects so it may be something else causing it.

Thanks Kitty for your reply.I am going to have a word with my Rheumatology nurse today.When I read the side effects leaflet it does mention abdominal pain and indigestion as one of the common side effects of this medication.

Interesting as the Pil I looked at didn’t mention those side effects. Never mind, good luck 🤞🏻
