I was told when I was taking Benepali that if I had any infection then I had to stop the Benepali until it had cleared.

I would contact your Rheumatologist to confirm this

Hope it helps

I am on Benepali and was told to stop taking it whilst on antibiotics.

Hope you feel better soon.

I would have thought not - most biologics/biosimilars say to stop them during an infection. But it is your rheumatology team you need to ask - have you not got a helpline?
