Hello everyone, I've recently been prescribed Kevzara 150mg/1.14ml for my rheumatoid arthritis and I'm curious to know about your experiences with it. It's an IL-6 blocker and I'm a little nervous about the potential side effects. I know it's given as an injection under the skin, which I'm not too familiar with. The prescribing doctor mentioned side effects and the possibility of UTIs which I have experienced in the past. I'm hoping to hear from those who have used this medication and their experiences with it, especially if you've had any issues or tips for managing side effects. Do you find it effective? Did you experience any of the listed urgent side effects? Please share your stories and advice if you can.

I had to laugh at the thought of the injection. I was terrified at first but you get used to it. It’s like popping a big zit. Ouch but effective.

I've been on Kevzara for about 6 months and it's been a game-changer for my RA. The injections are a bit of a nuisance, but I've only had mild redness at the injection site. Definitely worth it for the relief it provides.

I've been on Kevzara for a few months. I had some mouth irritation at first, which was really annoying. I started using a mouth rinse and it helped a lot. Now I'm just hoping the effects keep working and don't cause me issues again.

I wish I could say the same. I had to stop taking it after a month because of severe stomach pain and dizziness. It was awful. Tried Kevzara but it didn't fit my body well.
