CHANGE OF BIOLOGIC TREATMENT

So the 3 biologics are: ADALIMUMAB, GOLIMUMAB and CERTOLIZUMAB PEGOL. These are all anti TNF drugs as was ENBREL (ETANERCEPT) which has worked well for me in the past.

Anyone have experiences with Cimzia (certolizumab pegol)?

I have to start this biologic soon and I'm terrified, having had dire reactions to hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate. Stories of first-hand use would be very welcome indeed!

Struggling.

Saw a different consultant who started me on Hydroxychloroquine and screened me for Certolizumab pegol which I no very little about.

Certolizumab Pegol (Cimzia)

I'm having my 2nd DAS assessment in 4 weeks but it's looking very likely that I will come off leflunomide but remain on injected MXT and start this anti-TNF drug (my first). I know everyone is different but I would be interested to hear some experiences about it; side effects, how long it took to work

Hi! I've developed an itchy rash / dermatitis while taking Leflunomide and Cimzia (Certolizumab-Pegol) anti-tnf in combination for 10 mths.

Hi, The dermatitis developed on my legs, then a rash on my arms and stomach after about 7 months. Stopped Cimzia to see if it clears - been on Leflunomide for 6 years, no problems. Rash very slowly clearing. Will have to re-try Cimzia to see if it reappears I guess! Have told GP and RA Consultant. Anyone

Has anyone tried Certolizumab Pegol? I've been diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis - but the medication seems to be the same as for RA.

I've been on Prednisolone for 3 years and would like to reduce it.
