Thoughts others might appreciate this. Hubs chose Entivyo as his 1st biologic because his GI felt similarly to what this article stated, May do best if chosen as a 1st biologic. And he has Crohns limited to his Ileum. We will see! So far so good on all marker tests and symptoms.

Same thing here Entyvio was my first biologic and I am very close to remission. I feel more protected on it because it is focused. Which in the off chance I get Covid, I will hopefully be able to fight it.

Yea my husband liked that too!

May do best if chosen as a 1st biologic. .

As a general rule that is true of all the biologics. The first biologic tried has best shot at working. And after failing the the second and third biologics will likely fail faster and and faster. That's why docs battle hard to hang on to the first biologic if it runs into trouble - boost doses and add immunomodulators, etc. to try to keep it going as long as possible.
