Changing biologics

Due to shortage of Actemra because of COVID my doc wants me to change to Simponi. I’m scared. What can you tell me about it?

  1. Hi , Wow I'm sorry that this is happening. Is Actemra working for you?


    I've never tried Simponi but I have switched biologics. I was on Cimzia and I switched to Cosentyx. It was a scary decision but the best decision I have made!


    I hope Simponi will work wonderfully for you!
