I've been on Actemra for over 2 years and have had no problems at all. It has allowed me to taper from 19 to7mg pred but no lower.
It does what it says on the tin. Got down to 10 mg from 40 mgs in record time. I have ended up with Diverticula disease and it is not recommended if you have gut problems., though.
Not what you're looking for?
