Sue,
I am interested in knowing about any known or potential side effects. The most concerning thing that I've read about is gum/teeth issues, which I find very disturbing. Any concrete insight would be most helpful.
Thank you.

I am not an expert on this med, or its possible side effects. When the recording from the webinar comes out it has a little information on the side effects, but as @scoop pointed out, perio effects were seen just as much in the placebo group.
In my personal situation, I think a 20-25% reduction in exacerbations is not sufficient to try a brand new, expensive drug that has not been tested on people with other health issues.
I only provided the summary because I had the opportunity to hear the webinar. At this point, I won't be doing any more research on Brinsupri until there is much more history of people with RA and coronary artery disease using it safely.

Those on the placebo had more gum periodontal issues than those on the actual drug. Go figure. Aging.
