Hi,

I just started my 4th biologic with is kevzara, I was told that the common side effects were cold symptoms and congestion. I did my injection 3 days ago and woke up with these symptoms today..if anyone has had them do they do away in a few days and comeback with the next injection or are these side affects always there when taking the injection?

    No experience of this myself @Amy99

    But didn't like you having no replies. I see from this information that 'cold like' symptoms and congestion are common side effects.

    https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/treatments/drugs/sarilumab/

    Unfortunately no idea how long they last from that information. It does say something about it being possible to reduce the dose if it's too severe. If i were you l would probably try to get some advice from a medic - pharmacists can be very knowledgeable, but maybe your rheumatology helpline?

    I hope you don't feel to bad and send you a ((())) and a hope that it really helps your RA.
