Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hello, Has anyone had any experience with the new IL blocker Ustekinumab? I have had good success with Enbrel in the past & tapered off at the advice of my physician as I was in remission for several years. I recently had a flareup & was considering Ustekinumab. Studies have shown it to be at least equal to or more efficacious than Enbrel. Also, unlike Enbrel, the maintenance dose is subcutaneous injection only once in 3 months. I know it is approved in Canada & Europe & was under review in the US (not sure if it is approved yet). Also not sure what the cost is & how much insurance covers. Any input would be helpful. Thanks very much, Sri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
