ABROCITINIB vs PREDNISONE

Recently started taking a new drug through a clinical trial called Abrocitinib (Made by Pfizer), it is an oral tablet once a day and from what my doctors have said it is comparable and even slightly more effective for people than Dupixent. I wanted to share my results, I have had severe eczema for 7

I've given a few updates on the trial I'm in for Abrocitinib over the past couple of years - thought I'd round it out now the trial is coming to an end. I think I last posted around the 18 month mark and said I felt the effects were wearing off and some mild eczema had returned. I'm happy to say th

I've had full body eczema since about 18 years old. I can't really remember what my skin was like before then. Managing my eczema has been such a big part of my adult life. But after 2 months on dupixent I feel like my skin has never been as smooth.. or as oily! It's honestly taking my brain a whil

Quick rant here! Because It’s getting annoying and frustrating that they always hype up the new drugs for eczema sufferers for example, the JAK inhibitors, and I’m so happy to read the results but they never want to discuss the adverse side effects. They always want to say it’s mild and that they’re

This might be helpful for some of you who discontinue Cibinqo. I've been on it 5 years but unfortunately the trial ended here in Australia and the medication has yet to be approved. I had amazing results on it - next to no eczema/AD for the 5 years. I took my last pill 2 weeks ago and the flare has

I've just read the article https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20191012005003/en/ And I was wondering if anyone tried this? Were there any bad side effects? I found some old topics of some participants, maybe there's an update to that. Tbh all the topics made me cry, since nothing helps me and e

These drugs have just been approved in UK by NHS as pills and in the tests for UK they basically cured eczema, any of you guys from other countries tried this?

Edit: I deleted the vaping post a while ago because doctors kept judging me for it. I’ve kept screenshots of it, they were moderators telling me NOT to go to the ER making me feel stupid. At eosinophil of 5800. So yeah. I’m not lying about the post I just deleted it because of anxiety before the hos

31F, don’t want to give too much identifying info since there aren’t that many bat rehabilitators in the world. No relevant PMH. I’m normally the one answering questions about rabies, not asking them, but this is more than I know and more than my doctor knows, so I’m hoping this might happen to be s

Hi everyone (throwaway account here), I need help on how to proceed with a meeting I am going to have with my staff pharmacist who got caught on camera stealing drugs at 5 different instances in the past 3 months. All drugs were non narcotic for personal use such as cochicine, nitrofurantoin, naprox

Yesterday, I had a prescriber send over 12 seperate prednisone rx's trying to do a taper. Today, I had a prescriber writing for the 2.4mg wegovy but to inject 0.5mg. I asked them if they instructed the patient on how to get 0.5mg out of a pen designed to inject 2.4mg and they said "no, why? did the

Before official corona virus news started trickling in, I recall a large number of people coming into the pharmacy for a few months with a terrible cough that wouldn’t go away. For the most part these were regulars I had known for years with no outstanding health problems. Now that I think back we w

Hello. Just got a message from pharmacy about norco for chronic pain in an elderly patient, “alternative requested, please add icd code, is patient seeing pain specialist.” I do appreciate the concern, however in this particular patient I believe it is warranted, (she has tried several other class
