I saw my rheumatologist today and my Orencia is being discontinued. I was given options of rinvoq and Tyenne. I am hoping it works for me.

What experiences have others had with Tyenne, and what should you know about switching RA medications?

It's common to need to switch medications when your current treatment stops working effectively. Many people with RA cycle through different medications over time as their bodies stop responding to what they're taking.

What experiences have others had with Tyenne, and what should you know about switching RA medications?

It's common to need to switch medications when your current treatment stops working effectively. Many people with RA cycle through different medications over time as their bodies stop responding to what they're taking.

When switching treatments, here are some helpful things to keep in mind:

- Work closely with your rheumatologist through shared decision-making to discuss your goals, preferences, and the risks and benefits of each option
- Be open about any concerns you have regarding the new medication
- Let your doctor know if you experience any issues after starting the new treatment
- Remember that finding the right medication can take time, and what works varies from person to person

About half of people who stop biologic DMARDs may experience flare-ups, so it's important to have a plan in place for transitioning to your new medication. Your rheumatologist can help ensure a smooth switch.

If you're looking to hear from others about their experiences with specific medications, connecting with other myRAteam members who have tried similar treatments can provide valuable insights into what to expect.
