Has anyone taken Xeljanz XR or is currently taking it?

My doctor has recommended Xeljanz and from the research I’ve done, I’m not quite comfortable with it.

Have a question? Ask it here!

  1. Hi There,

    I don't have any personal experience with Xeljanz, but I wanted to share with you a few articles published on our site that have information on the medication.

    I hope this might help in you making a decision. I'll be thinking of you!

    Warmly,

    1. Thanks Amanda ! I will definitely take a look into the articles you provided for me. Greatly appreciate it 😀

      1. You're welcome!

    2. Do speak up and let your team know if you're unhappy with their recommendations. It is your decision too.

      Sorry, I don't actually know anyone taking it. I don't think it's something really seen in the UK yet!

      I hope the info Amanda has shared with you helps!
