I am now 2 week into Kevzara Rx. I am no better maybe worse! How long must I wait for relief? Not on anything but Med Marajuana to help with pain which helps some. Getting very impatient!

Good morning. Don’t get discouraged. Kevzara takes 12 weeks to get into your system. But actually as a patient and experience you will start to feel a difference around the 8-10 shots. Keep it up

I started Kevzara in December. Befor starting I had a slow growing flare. Finally my Rheumotologist put me on 20mg for a couple weeks then reducing 2.5/ week untill 10mg when I started the Kevzara injections. After a couple weeks I then reduced 1mg/wk. I am holding at 3mg/day for now because of some possible adrenal issues. My morning cortisol test was normal though. All this to say she got my inflammation under control before starting the Kevzara . I think this approach helped.
