NEW DRUG FOR LUPUS-HEARD ON T.V.

I heard on TV today that there's a new drug for Lupus. This is besides the usual Plaquinil, etc. I didn't catch the name of it. Did anyone hear about this?

The name of the drug is Benlysta. I read a lot of information about the drug this morning. I'm so happy to hear that a drug specifically for Lupus in now on the market but there are still clinical trails to be done in subgroups. Check this site out http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm246489.htm

Thanks! I'll look at the site.
Is this drug like Embrel that lowers immunity?

Benlysta. Wow, sounds very promising, This will be the so called drug for Lupus the first of its kind.
The bad news is it is not licensed yet for the UK.
Hopes though for many.

Look forward to reading the post off people who get to try this new wonder drug.
