My daughter was on Remicade & it worked wonderful for UC, but developed Psoriasis. Started Stelara 3yrs ago & no longer working. Wonder what is the next med up?
Any feedback appreciated.

Has she tried Entyvio?

Is she taking any additional meds? Like enemas or steroids.

Did you have the dose of Stelara increased?

Entyvio would be my choice. Other options: humira, simponi, xeljanz, zeposia. Some people have had success with diets or alternative therapies, but do your homework on those options -- there are some crazy theories out there.

You can do monthly injections instead of an injection every 56 days.
