Humira and Pentasa

[LodgeLady]

Is anyone else taking both Humira and Pentasa? I am currently taking both. My doctor is suggesting once I go into remission to try weaning me off the Pentasa.

I am concerned that if I stop the Pentasa some symptoms may return. Has anyone experienced a recurrence of symptoms weaning off Pentasa while on Humira?

I'm on both right now and my doctor said a similar thing. Once the humira "kicks in" I can get off the pred and the pentasa. She said the Pentasa probably isn't doing much in my case since it was severe enough to go on Humira and the Pentasa is just another thing for my liver to process (and it already has enough to deal with!).

Can't report yet on any return of symptoms since I haven't stopped yet.
