Kevzara and prednisone effectivness

@stonewheel I think your insurance would not allow anything not approved. I asked about actemra, but my rheumatologist said medicare would say no. But she also talked about rinvoq, and that's not approved, so who really knows.

@ronludington that’s why the interest in my Cosentix. It may soon be FDA approved, like Kevzara was in 2023.
I read a post where a man’s insurance was not going to cover his biologic beginning 2027, but that his rheumatologist said he could switch to Cosentix for his PMR, and that it had already been approved for psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis. His insurance will cover the Cosentix for those and will continue to do so in 2027. He hopes that they will also cover it for PMR, for him, if it is approved by then.
Kevzara and biologics aren't an option for many without adequate insurance.
Wac-a-mole.
