Does anyone get side effects from Stelara?
Autoimmune Diseases | Last Active: Apr 14 11:20am | Replies (5)Comment receiving replies
I've had one intravenous and 3 subcutaneous doses of Stelara every 8 weeks. After the last dose considerable skin issues developed on my hands and feet. Dry, Psoriasis like peeling layers of skin off my hands and split finger tips, major splitting of my heels making it difficult to work and painful to walk. I wonder if any one else has had a similar experience?

These symptoms could also be signs of nutrient deficiency (Zinc, Vit C, B Vitamins, Vit D). It could also be disease progression. Drug reaction is less likely, but not impossible. However, the originator of this post christa37 @christa37, Sep 2, 2024, reported similar experience while on Stelara. See her earlier posts. It may be worthwhile asking your rheumatologist this question.
