Life-changing or life-threatening? Discussing Ilaris (canakinumab) for rare inflammatory conditions
I've been recently diagnosed with CAPS and my doctor has prescribed Ilaris (canakinumab) 150mg/ml. I've read about the potential side effects, but I'm really struggling with the decision whether to start this medication. I want to know what others have experienced with this drug? What are the signs of severe infection I should look out for? How does it work to reduce inflammation? Is it really worth the risk?
