I’m on 5 mg of prednisone and I tried going to zero after a year but it didn’t work! So I will be trying Kevzarro soon. Is there anything I should expect with this medicine. I’m also waiting to see if insurance will cover it. cost is $5,000.00. If no coverage I will have to find something else!!! Way too expensive!!!

@judy15 I’ve been on Kevzara for 2 years & was able to get off of prednisone after a few months. I’m on Medicare now but was on private insurance when I started. First you need to get your doctor to send a letter of medical necessity to the insurance company (with Medicare too) then with private insurance the manufacturer has an excellent program to assist with the cost of the drug. Go on their website. Also ask your doctors office for help, mine did everything for me. Good luck, it’s worth it!

Check Kevzara site for financial help. Loved it.
Easy peasy for me, one shot bi weekly by myself in my belly. Got off prednisone within the 3 month initial period.
