Stelara


Tue, October 22, 2019 5:06 PM

I just started Stelara one week ago (initial IV infusion) for Crohn's. Anyone have thoughts/comments regarding how long it took to start to feel a difference.  I was on Humira which seemed (initially) to work pretty quickly.  Thanks for any input.

I’d be keen to hear how you are going?

im currently on Humira but due to losing response I’m likely to switch over to Stelara soon.

has it been helpful for you?

Please keep us posted with your progress.  Hopefully, my insurance will approve the med soon. Stelara seems to be a promising med for UC patients too.
