Actemra

Interesting! A new drug approved to fight RA called Actemra. Some of the side effects are very scary like tears in your stomach. It another one that would have to be infused taking around an hour according to the prescribing information.

Looking at the cost there is this card http://actemracard.com/ that will give 80% off per infusion up to $4000. Well if they are paying up to $4000 which could be 80% the 20% out of pocket should be about $1000 (assuming the total cost was $5000.) This would need to be take once a month. That would be $12000 a year. Please tell me they are kidding.

With the high cost and high risk.. I'll pass on trying this one.
