Does Anybody have Experience with Rinvoq ?

Posted by bens1 @bens1, 2 days ago

My wife is about to start taking Rinvoq and I wanted to try and get a feel for what people’s experiences were in real life vs what is projected

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

I took rinvoq for years but my liver count goy too high. My Rheumatologist found this through bloodwork, so i had to stop immediately and switch drug s to zeljanz.

Thank you for that and it is good to know. The rheumatologist and the hepatologist, the liver specialist, picked this even though my wife has had high liver enzymes, but I think there are multiple trade-offs with these biologic, especially if you have comorbidities.

i’ve been taking Rinvoq for a year now with no problems thankfully. I’ve also taken xeljanz for a few years prior to that. They both worked well for me with no issues.

Thank you for responding. If you do not mind me asking, did you have any heart or liver considerations in making that decision for the medication?
