Cosentyx beats Stelara in head to head psoriasis clearance

[Fred]

It's reassuring to know that scientists are busy trying to find the best solutions for us. Do the side effects get any less scary as the drugs improve?

Good question, but the answer as far as I know is No the side effects remain much the same across the Bio range. Some are worse than others but they all have similar recommendation of things to watch out for, Feeling Tired, Coughs or flu like feelings, Infections, are the main ones.

The reason being is because the bio treatments lower ones immune system, having said that I myself have never experienced anything bad that I could put down to be on the Bio's. I did have a reaction to two of them Remicade and Humira but that's just me, I have heard of others having a reaction to some but don't often hear of people complaining about the side effects that much.

There will always be side effects with the Bio's as they are messing with you Cells, but then again there are side effects with all types of treatment so we have to weigh up the risks on a personal basis's.  

For me the Bio's are safer than Methotrexate, and easier to use and tolerate than Fumaderm. They work and give good results fast and have given me my life back, so I'm happy with the small risks associated with the Bio's.
