Stelara has a lower infection rate than anti tnf
But takes an extremely long time to be effective (8 months average ) vs humira /remicade (6weeks to 3 months )
Ds was on remicade for 8 months (allergic reaction ) and humira for over 5 years
There are in between drugs
Methotrexate is one
Imuran another
Lots of side effects for ds with both of those
Methotrexate still makes him sick but not as bad while on pills instead of shot
Imuran went to his liver so that was a no go
Good luck
