I am asking for my mother, age-91. She has been taking Orencia for about 4-years and claims it is no longer working well. She wants to discontinue medication. Please advise.
Have any long time users stopped taking Orencia ?

Let her doctor know that she would like to stop taking Orencia, before actually stopping. I couldn't find any reviews where the user had a similar experience.
Please try the forum. Someone may have a similar experience to yours.
