Is anybody get 150 ml infusion of simponi every two month? ## Hello, Felbons! How are you? Simponi is used to treat health conditions, such as RA, psoriatic arthritis and ulcerative colitis, as listed by the FDA. Possible side effects may include chills, night sweats, dry cough, skin rash and loss of appetite. Can anyone that's been on it chime in with their experiences? Have you started it already? If so, how are you doing on it? These medications work great for some people, but many others do seem to have problems with them. It really just varies from person to person.

new drug
is Simponi better or not than embrel ## I used embrel for six months with no improvement. After a few of taking simponi along with methotrexate I have had great improvement. Its like a wonder drug for me. ## Hi I've just had my first injection today have tried Embrel for about 8 months to no avail, I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. After the Embrel I was then put on Humira and had sever reactions to this injection. Now trialling this Anti-TNF. praying that it works and I don't have any sever reactions as with Humira . It's my 4th biological medication now, 1st one Actemera was successful but was taken off due to some side effects. It's a really new drug hear in Australia with very strict guidelines on critera of those whom are given authority to take it.
