Nov 5, 2021 · If your humira dosing is every 10 days then you do the Stelara infusion 10 days after the last humira shot . Ds was on humira every 5 days and we did Stelara 5 days later . But Stelara takes months to work so you need a bridge therapy of steriods until it kicks in

Oct 15, 2015 · My daughter is also on multiple biologics - Humira and a different biologic used for just arthritis. We also stagger them. As for going to a biosimilar of Humira, to be honest, I don't think it will make much of a difference. If it were my kiddo and she had tried Stelara already, I'd try Skyrizi. It seems like GIs really like it.

Nov 24, 2017 · On humira over 5 plus years with pristine scopes (no issues at all ) Now on Stelara 4 plus years -no issues so everyone unfortunately is different entyvio works better on the colon -not so good on the small intestine Stelara better on the small intestine but not the colon as well Both Stelara and entyvio takes forever to work Stelara takes 6-8 ...

Sep 19, 2023 · Entyvio has a pen; Stelara a pre-filled syringe. Entyvio is every 2 weeks, vs Stelara every 4-8 weeks. We've ruled out the other options, and are trying to decide between these two. I would prefer to go with Stelara because of its efficacy and it is less frequent, but my son is very anxious about eventually having to give himself a needle.

Oct 15, 2015 · Skyrizi probably works after Stelara failure because the Stelara failure was due to the development of antibodies to the Stelara that do not cross-react with the Skyrizi molecule. Much the same thing often happens when Humira works after Remicade failure (or vice versa) even though both drugs target TNF.

Nov 13, 2010 · Stelara begins with an infusion, and after that you do injections. My gi tells me that stelara usually results in reduced inflammation for the patient than sooner than entyvio. My gi says entyvio takes about 6 months. Didn't say how long for stelara. My insurance was a horrible evil entity to deal with to get the infusion approved.

Jun 20, 2017 · Stelara is the newest one - I am not sure why they'd go straight to that, usually doctors start with Remicade/Humira. That said, Stelara works well for Crohn's, and generally people don't complain of too many side effects with them. Biologics are also very effective for arthritis - they have been life-changing for my daughter.

Dec 6, 2022 · The patient may have developed antibodies against Stelara that block its action (although this isn't very common, it does occur), and Skyrizi avoids this because it is a different protein. But it's really not all that unusual among IBD biologic drugs that bind the same protein for one drug to work for a patient and another, seemingly the same ...

Feb 15, 2024 · Stelara is approved for PsA in kids as young as 12. It is possible for it to be approved by insurance for teens . My child (now adult 20 ) was 14 when he started Stelara after humira failed .
