First Biologic Drug Approved for PMR
The FDA approved a biologic drug,
Kevzara
, for PMR sufferes in the beginning of March. Ot acts like Actemra, which is only approved for GCA. At this point, it is approved in the United States. Hopefully other countries will follow.

PMR - Inflammatory Arthritis?
I was reading the post about the new Biologic medication named
Kevzara
yesterday. I was very surprised that in the Medscape link PMR is labeled as “Inflammatory Arthritis “. I had no idea that it flew under this banner. Any thoughts on this?

Kevzara (sarilumab) to treat PMR
He wants me to take
Kevzara
and says studies have shown that it gets rid of PMR and the drug should be approved to treat PMR by this spring. Has anyone been part of the trials and/or had experience using this drug to treat PMR?

4th Covid booster
Is anyone only taking Sarilumab (
Kevzara
) had their 4th Covid booster jab? I am being told by my Rheumatology consultant that I don't need it as only on the one biologic, yet I've received a letter saying I do ! Thanks

KEVZARA® (sarilumab)
Anybody have any experience with
Kevzara
for LVV/GCA/PMR? My rheumy is switching me to that because Actemra 1) doesn't interact well with my recently-diagnose diverticulitis and 2) has been approved for Covid (and is, thus, harder to get). It sounds like
Kevzara
is mostly for RA.

Has anyone achieved a reduction in fatigue from PMR through the introduction of tocilizumab (Actemra) into their treatment regimen?
So I would be very much interested in hearing from anyone who has gotten relief from PMR fatigue through the use of tocilizumab (Actemra) or, perhaps less commonly,
Kevzara
(sarilumab).

Any stories with Sarilumab/Kevzara?
Any stories with Sarilumab/
Kevzara
? I started this biologic on Thursday due to etanercept not making much difference at all. Just seeing if anyone has been on it and any experiences? I know we are all different but with it being relatively new, I can't seem to find much info about it.

Sarilumab - brand name: Kevzara
Hi My Mum was diagnosed with GCA last May and has had a very tough time with bad reactions to medication. She was therefore switched to TCZ about 8 weeks ago and suddenly itching has gone mad especially at night and the thinking is to help with anti-histamine and to switch from TCZ to Sarilumab. I am
