switching to Tyenne

[roseyx]

Hello

Has anyone else who has been switched from tocilizumab to the biosimilar Tyenne find that its not working so well? I was switched over in the summer since when have been feeling increasingly inflamed everywhere.

I also wondered if anyone has experience of requesting to be switched back.

I have been doing very well for years on tocilizumab and realise that the switch may not be the reason for R.A. getting more active but it coincides.

I’m about to be switched and am hoping for the best. I’m really sorry to hear you’re suffering at the moment. Do let your Rheumy team know and I hope they can help you get back to feeling ok again quickly. 🤞🏻

I too changed in summer last year, but absolutely no changes for me, thankfully.

It is always a worry when you switch, and I did have a bit of anxiety.

I was switched from one version of adalimumab to another early 24. Joints were ok but one infection after another. I suggested, at my annual f2f, I go back to Imraldi, the original one, & was told it may be possible. Lo & behold I heard within a few weeks I was to start asap.Back on original drug & everything fine again 🤞🤞

Good luck - be firm

Thanks a lot. That’s encouraging and I am going to give it a try.
