Lynn, Saphnelo was effective for severe cutaneous (skin) lupus and low blood counts due to lupus. It also helps arthritis and reduces flares but hasn't been shown to help kidney or neuropsychiatric lupus.
It's supposed to start working very quickly, and if one hasn't responded by three months of treatment, it will probably not help.
Like other immunosuppressants, it raises the risk of infection. I hope this helps, and good luck with it.
Saphnelo (anifrolumab-fnia) is an FDA-approved biologic treatment for adults with moderate to severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who are already receiving other lupus medications. It is administered as an intravenous infusion every four weeks in a medical office.
