How safe is the drug kineret (anakinra)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Relateively safe: Kineret (anakinra) is a biologic drug fda approved for rheumatoid arthritis. It is not terribly effective for this however. It is relatively safe compared to other biologics. Very few adverse effects or infections.

Hello, I have lupus as we all as recurring pericarditis. The treatment plan would be Kineret for the pericarditis, Plaquenil for Lupus as well as a low-dose steroid. Is this a bit much or does it seem adequate?
