Hello,
Newer biologics have a role in rheumatoid arthritis but these infusions are associated with severe side effects also from an allergy to cancer. I have a lot of experience of a patient of RA and long-term results with allopathic medication are not satisfactory, so consult me for further assistance. There is a good role in diet and achieve correction through it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
Have you tried Xeljanz, the oral medication or Kevzara injections?. They can pre-medicate you with Tylenol, Benadryl, and Solu-Medrol before starting the infusion and that can prevent a bad reaction.
