Experience with ENTYVIO

Hello, my doctors want to start me on Entyvio and I’m a little nervous from all the infusion reactions and adverse side effects I’ve read. also, I heard it takes a very long time to experience any relief. Does anyone have any experience with this medication? Thanks

Entyvio is an integrin receptor antagonist. Integrin receptors are proteins expressed on the surface of certain cells. Integrin receptors function as bridges for cell-cell interactions. Entyvio blocks the interaction of a specific integrin receptor (expressed on circulating inflammatory cells)...

I have been on Entyvio for the last 2+ years. I had a very fast positive reaction with an improvement of symptoms after 1 month. It took longer for the symptoms to completely withdraw. I had no adverse side effects. No extra infections, went through Covid on Entyvio as well with no issues.

I was very hesitant to start the biological treatment, and delayed starting it for years. I see it as a mistake now. I lost few years to Crohn's instead of following Doc's advise. This forum actually helped me make the decision and start the treatment.
