I was wondering if anyone had a list of all the biologics that can be taken for spondy. I have been on remicade for 12 years and i am currently on the highest dosage. it looks like in a year or so I will have to change, and I was hoping I could start research now. I know of a few and will list them. if you know of more, could you please add them?  thanks humira enbriel remicade cosentyx

couple of handy resources... this is a summary of the treatment guidelines. it came out before JAKs, so those are not listed. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://spondylitis.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/SAA_Pocket_Guide_Update_WEB.pdf also, the chart lists everything for spondy. https://spondylitis.org/about-spondylitis/treatment-information/medications/guide-to-medications/
