What was your experience on Kevzara?

@barjohnson62 I have been on Kevzara about 4 months now. I also have a terrible poison ivy infection. Mine has stayed poison ivy and not become a staff infection. However I have it everywhere. I did not want to go to the doc and have to take prednisone since I recently got off of it. I think I am winning the battle though. Hot showers really take the "itch" out for several hours. I have had terrible poison ivy before and gone on prednisone. One thing to watch for, if the doc prescribed one week of an antibiotic and you think you are better, you may get a rebound of poison ivy. Happened to me and I needed two more weeks of prednisone to kick it. Good luck. It never occurred to me that I may have some trouble kicking the poison ivy due to Kevzara.

That's very interesting. I didn't really expect anybody to be in a similar situation. Unfortunately, in being bad and scratching my poison ivy, I introduced an impetigo staff infection. So keep up the hot showers and don't break the skin! I know the antibiotics won't do anything for the poison ivy, so will be interested to see what happens with that once the staff is under control. Thanks for reaching out.
