What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Simponi?

I m taking Simponi 100mg once a month. I ve noticed that I m getting psoriasis on my face and my back and chest have just exploded. It doesn t seem to want to clear. Burns and inches like crazy. Almost unbearable. Anything I can do or use to get some relief? CBC cannanboid oil worked, but I ran out and live in a state were you can t get it.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The Simponi is the immune suppressive drug, the way you have described your symptoms it seems this could be hypersensitive reaction, if I would be your doctor then I would treat you with the following medicine,
1) Tab. Hydroxyzine 20 mg three times in day
2) Tab. Prednisolone 20 mg three times in day ( reduce the dose every after three day by 10 mg till the last dose of 10 mg three times in day for three day)
3) Tab. Terfenadine three time in day
I hope this regime would be helpful to you, take care and have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
