I was approved yesterday to start an infusion of ACTEMRA. The Rheumy is starting me on 500 mg. How much will this reduce my prednisone? I have suspected GCA with PMR. I have a trip planned in August to Ireland but will not be back by my infusion date. What will happen? Will I have to take more prednisone since I won’t have access to the ACTEMRA?
Since I did not start it yet should I push the date out to day of the week it would work for my trip?
Thank you for any experiences or thoughts.
