Rheum wants Kevzara but Methotrexate much cheaper, work as well?

@abd
Thank you very much for this information. My Rheumatologist said that Kevzara could leave a "mark" or something, so thanks. Is the name of the most current medication you were told isn't available "Acetemra"? Is it the specialty pharmacy saying it isn't available? My Rheumatologist said you get Kevzara from a "specialty pharmacy" or something. It seems like it can be a problem, especially if you've been taking a "biologic" type drug that can be so helpful and then suddenly can't get it. I'm sorry this has happened to you. It's hard enough having PMR and taking Prednisone, trying to taper without horrible flares, and then having RX issues on top isn't our idea of fun!! Thanks again for your help. I hope you can get the most recent one ASAP. Blessings.

@boomermeg Kevzara website is very helpful……best you read it and side effects, rather than totally relying on our word. It is all individual. Yes, I had a couple of injections in my belly that left a “red mark”. Nothing to get excited about, and stopped after a couple of months.

@boomermeg Yes Kevzara comes from specialty pharmacy….needs constant refrigeration etc. Had not been a problem for me.
