Comparison between the big 3? | Arthritis Information

Does anyone have a line by line comparison  between Remicade, Rituxan and Orencia?

 
 I am   beginning to woner if maybe  I need to change from Remicade to something else.
 
I will get my infusion Friday.. I am in a real  lot of pain and have been for about 10 days.. The worse my pain is when I get my infusion the longer it takes to kick in.. Right now I take it every 5 weeks.  So If I get it friday, I will start to feel better by Wed.. I will have 3 solid good weeks.. By the 20th or so I will feel it wear off, and then the damn cycle starts again.. I  think it worked better every 4 weeks..
 
 This is driving me nuts.
 
call your doctor and see if he will increase the dose of remicade you are receiving.. It is working so it is worth seeing if tweaking the dose and/or the frequency will invrease its effectiveness

Kathy -

I don't think there is a comparison of the biologics out there.  Can I suggest doing what Buckeye says - you've got something that works - treak it!

hugs babe!!!You might be able to find comparison as to how each one works but probably not in effectiveness since it is different for everyone. I have done all but rituxen(Enbrel on up to Orenica). For now, Orencia rocks! Only downside is the montly infusions.
