Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 hi, haven't posted in a few days. i am contmplating the orencia only concern is them finding a vein consistently. seems to be huge problem lately. however i don't think a pic line or any other long term line is something I would be interested in, so will see how it goes. i don't think promoters will say all about their product and since some of us, me included, are more sensitive to meds (hives, facial rash, body rashes, blurred vision, increased joint pain, interaction with current meds, etc.) than others I have left a web page listing side effects as well as benefits for those having a hard time finding the right therapy as I am. There is a lot of info there and somehow I always end up there when researching RA. Will keep you posted on orencia results. Hang in there. Peace and healing. Ebony http://www.medicinenet.com/abatacept/article.htm SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects include headache, upper respiratory tract infections and nausea. Because abatacept depresses the immune system it reduces the body's ability to fight infection. Therefore existing infections may worsen or new ones may develop. Patients may also experience infusion related reactions such as dizziness, headache, hypotension or hypertension, nausea, wheezing, rash, nausea and shortness of breath. The most serious side effects are infections and cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Ebony, the best of luck to you with Orencia, should you be able to try it. Sites like MedicineNet get their information on a particular drug from the clinical trials that the manufacturer conducts. Information about adverse effects discovered during the trials is included in the prescribing information at the manufacturer's site. http://orencia.com/orencia/channels/hcp_content.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes & contentId\ =Prescribing_Info_PDF_Download Not an MD I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 thanks , hopefully I will be able to try the orencia with good results. I understand that medicinenet don't do their own study of the drug however they gave the best description of the drug in my opinion, straight to the point so felt it would be easy for anyone who was interested to get more of an objective and complete picture -- the good and bad. thanks for posting the information. in peace, Ebony --- In , " " <Matsumura_Clan@...> wrote: > > Ebony, the best of luck to you with Orencia, should you be able to try it. > > Sites like MedicineNet get their information on a particular drug from the > clinical trials that the manufacturer conducts.
