Methotrexate or Rinvoq to treat GCA

My brother-in-law has been taking methotrexate for 14 years to treat PMR. He hasn't had any issues with it.

Have you checked to see if your insurance covers Avtozma or Tofidence? Those are 2 other biosimilars of tocilizumab. Google says they are both administered with infusions, so if they are covered by insurance, it would be under Part B.

My doctor prescribed Avtozma and my insurance approved it, but the specialty pharmacy says there's a long term shortage of Avtozma.
