KEVZARA (sarilumab) is now approved for PMR and it should work the same way as Actemra works

Yes ... None of these medications work perfectly. Kevzara targets the same inflammatory mechanism as Actemra. However, Kevzara and Actemra aren't exactly the same so there might be some differences between the two.

For all I know, Kevzara might work better than Actemra. I just know that Actemra works for me. For me, Actemra works infinitely better than prednisone. I don't have anywhere near the side effects that prednisone probably caused me.

We all need to find what works for us as individuals. No two people are the same. If prednisone works for someone and a doctor prescribes prednisone then I would support that. I don't have a license to prescribe medications because I'm not a doctor. Everything I write is my own personal opinion based on my own personal experience. I try not to give any medical advice because I don't have a license for that either.
