A member asked:

I'm using resuvo and remicaide (medicare refuses humira (adalimumab)), now to switch to cinzia(sp?) is its efficacy similar to humira (adalimumab) or remicaide?

Specializes in Pediatrics

Biologic agents: Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) works in the same way that Humira or Remicade does - it blocks an inflammatory protein called tumor necrosis factor. One may work better than another for any one person.
