KEVZARA medication reaction

Posted by flower123 @flower123, Aug 24 8:06am

Been on 7 mg of Prednisone for 20 years with success in that it helps me with mobility and pain control. Never been able to lower Prednisone to 3 or 4 mg and tried dozen of times. NOW on KEVZARA
(200) injection every 2 weeks and have after injection #4 experience
canker mouth sores, and disturbance of sleep ( probably insomnia)
lack of energy. Has anyone on this forum experienced this?
Appreciate your input and wish you good health.

I got canker sores after starting Kevzara. Taking over the counter remedies for dry mouth helped a lot. Lysine ointment (unflavored) provided the most topical relief. Good luck!

Someone on another thread suggested asking your dentist about a mouthwash for canker sores. I don't know if it prevents them or treats them, but it's worth asking.
