Questions for people taking Actemra and Kevzara injections

Hi @jeff97, I was prescribed Actemra to treat PMR/GCA and I also receive my medication from a specialty pharmacy. I actually had to look up the location of the pharmacy because I had forgotten. I live in Dallas Texas and my pharmacy is in Memphis, Tennessee—several states away. Since I receive my injections by FEDEX, I honestly had not thought about it in a while. I receive 8 well packaged injections at a time. Have to say that I don’t have any concerns about the pharmacy as thankfully each of my orders has arrived well refrigerated with no concerns. Blessings! ❤️

@sandiw77 I assume I have the same specialty pharmacy as you, Accredo, since they are based in Memphis. I've checked the Fedex tracking for my shipments, and they get sent from Delaware. Accredo must have regional distribution centers.
My rheumatologist is planning to cut my injections to every other week in a couple of months. Since my insurance only allows me to receive a 28 day supply of Actemra, I think that will mean that Accredo will only send me 2 injections per shipment.
Blessings to you too!
