Adalimumab change

Hi all

The hospital has recently changed adalimumab brands from Amgevita to Uflyma. On Amgevita I would feel washed out and lethargic for about 24 hrs and then level out to my norm and it had always been the same, this week I started Uflyma and 48 hrs later I still feel washed out and lethargic and nauseous, which wasn't an issue on Amgevita. I'm wondering if anyone else has had issues changing brands and did the side effects eventually wear off or this a brand issue in itself. I hope things wear off by tomorrow as I don't think I can tolerate another day of it.

TIA

    hi @Hobble

    How are you feeling now?

    I take Yulflyma and it can make me feel a little like car sick after taking it - but not more than 48 hours after. Other than that I rate the medication.

    Hi, hope you’re feeling better! I was having Imraldi, but was changed to Yulflyma. Whenever I injected Imraldi it was quite painful and stung. It almost always caused a bruise. I had no other side effects. Since changing to Yulflyma it’s a total breeze….. no pain or stinging at the injection site and absolutely no bruising or any other form of side effect. I must just be very lucky! I also inject methotrexate once a week as I had very nasty side effect when taken orally. Again, no side effects with the injection.😁
