experriences and results with Actemra

I am moving on to my third biologic, Actemra. I pray and hope this one will work for me. I am asking for people on Actemra or have taken it, or anyone with knowledge or experience with it for any advice. I am always nervous and scared to start a new RA medication. Thank you

  1. Hi . I can't personally speak on this drug, but I can tell you that there have been studies finding Actemra more effective than some of the anti-tnf drugs (see here for example: https://www.rxwiki.com/news-article/actemra-versus-humira-rheumatoid-arthritis-led-greater-improvement-symptoms). Hope this information is helpful and that others will chime in with their experiences. Best, Richard (Team Member)

  2. I do hope you get helpful feedback from other community members that have experience with Actemra, . Here is one member story from quite some time ago about her experience with Actemra -- https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/stories/cherylmac. And, I do hope the third time is the charm for you and that this medication is the one that does the trick!

    Best, Erin, Team Member.
