Stelara

Just got my first infusion 4 days ago. I am so tired and have headaches. Those are comen side effects. My question will this go away or will this be everytime I am injecting myself too?

  1. Hi . I can't personally speak to Stelara, but I know there are no easy answers to the question of whether side effects will continue. In some cases there are side effects that subside over time as a body adjusts to the medication. Unfortunately, there are other cases where side effects get worse over time. I will say that it is important to notify your doctor of any experience side effects - besides for monitoring, once drug trials are over the primary method that side effects are discovered and the extent of them known is through the reporting system. Hopefully others will chime in with their experiences. Please feel free to keep us posted on how things are going and to ask further questions. Best, Richard (Team Member)
