Re: Cimzia

Hi mattlins
Thank you for your post, I’m sorry to hear that your Cimzia seems to have stopped working. Do speak to your medical professional about this to see what may be suggested with regards to your treatment.

I’m guessing you may have rheumatoid arthritis, you might like to take a look at our booklet where you will find some information about treatments and may be of interest: https://www.arthritiscare.org.uk/what-i ... -arthritis

To hear about the experiences of others do take a look at our ‘living with arthritis’ forum, it’s also a great place for getting support: http://arthritiscareforum.org.uk/viewforum.php?f=8

If at any point you would like some support you are welcome to call us on our Helpline, here we can take our time to talk about any concerns you may have.

Best wishes

Re: Cimzia

Hi,

Yes it is common to see these drugs lose its effect after several years of treatment.

If your joint are worse you should contact your Rheumatology team fro review and possible change in medication.

hope that helps
