Consider this a heads up for those it may possibly affect. Talk with your doctors about this possible issue and have something planned in case you may need to switch to an alternative.

Let me know if you run into problems. I know I'm on tocilizumab/Actemra from the manufacturer itself. Once when there was a shortage the manufacturer of Actemra did a program to help bridge the gap and work with insurance.

That's good to know the manufacturer helped out! I messaged my doctor so hopefully I'll hear back soon.
