Filgotinib

Agee

Hi, I've just received a letter from my consultant saying I'm being considered for this treatment.

I'm currently on Amgevita and Methotrexate but still having lots of pain and mobility issues.

I'm interested in others experience of this drug and its effectiveness.

Hi @Agee

Thank you for posting on the helpline forum. 

As Filgotinib is a relatively new drug we don’t yet have any information on our website or any leaflets about it. Our Health Information Team have produced some information and it should appear on the website within the next couple of weeks, so do keep checking back on our drugs link here:  

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/treatments/drugs/?alphabeticIndex=F

Your healthcare team should give you clear information about the effectiveness of filgotinib and why they are considering you for this treatment.

You may also wish to post in the Living With Arthritis section so others who have experience of the drug can respond to your post.

You are very welcome to call us on our freephone helpline: 0800 5200 520 so you can talk things through with one of our helpline team. 

I hope this is helpful.

Best wishes

Mags
