After spine surgery and with rheumatoid arthritis, COVID vaccine is generally safe after 3 months—discuss timing with rheumatologist.

Question

I'm currently getting treatment with intacept injections, four shots a month for the past three months. I'm just wondering about the safety of these injections and if they offer a long-term solution since the cost is pretty high. Can you shed some light on this?

Question

I recently got my blood tests back, and I've noticed that my uric acid levels have been high for the last two cycles. My SGPT is at 55, which Ive heard is elevated. I'm not a frequent drinker, maybe just once every couple of weeks, and there's no family history of this either. What do you think might be going on, and should I be concerned about these results?

Question

I'm a bit confused about the difference between Omnacortil 5 and Wyslone 5. My doctor prescribed Wyslone 5, but the pharmacy only had Omnacortil 5 available. Is there any issue if I go with Omnacortil 5 instead of sticking strictly to the prescription? I'm worried about getting the right treatment.
