Combined treatment

[braveheart]

Is someone combining regular immunosuppressants (Imuran/Azathioprine/6-MP) with biologics
Adalimumab (Humira)
Certolizumab (Cimzia)
Infliximab (Remicade)
Natalizumab (Tysabri)
Risankizumab (Skyrizi)
Ustekinumab (Stelara)
Vedolizumab (Entyvio) ?

Any experiences? Have you tried ?

My kiddo has been on humira plus mtx for over 5 years when he was younger.(age9-14)
Then switched to Stelara plus mtx when he was a teen
He is now an adult and still on Stelara plus mtx
They no longer recommend 6-mp/imuran plus biologics for kids especially male teens since it increases the risk of fatal Tcell lymphoma
6-mp/imuran by itself is also not recommended for kids anymore since it has a much higher risk of lymphoma.

my kiddo was on 6-mp by itself at age 7 .
