No problem.

I'm on Actemra which is FDA approved for GCA but was approved for me because of 12 years of PMR and long term use of prednisone. Kevzara and Actemra basically work in the same way and are in the same classification of medications -- both are IL-6 inhibitors.

Actemra worked well for me and I enjoy being off prednisone after 12 very long years.
