Ilumya

Is anyone using Ilumya injections? I've been using Otezla for about 2 years, and its been about 90% effective, but my doc wants to try these injections. It is much cheaper but how does it work? Any bad side effects? Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA

    1. Hi trying a new biologic can be scary especially given how effective Otezla has been for you. Personally, I have not been on Ilumya yet, but I am looking to have to switch when I find a new dermatologist in January. Have you researched Ilumya for yourself? I am sure someone in this community will be able to tell you more. Vickie, Team Member

      1. hello rick,
        This is the first bio. that has worked. I have been on three. No side effects. For me , i have been on it for 2 years. This one does not have all of the nasty side effects either. My imune system has been fine as well. Talk with your doctor, read up on the bio. go from there. Uh yea 1st time in 20 years, no prorisas!

        1. Hi Rick,
          I did not have any problems been on it for 2 years. When I started biologics it was for my plague psorisas. This paticular bio, does not have the nasty side effects either.
