"Post-ileocolectomy surgery, Entyvio was prescribed for maintenance. The initial 8-week dosage was increased to every 4 weeks after blood work revealed insufficient concentration. A colonoscopy after 6 months revealed no polyps, no inflammation, and no ulcerations. I suffered no side effects. Note: Entyvio was prescribed after 5 years on Humira when blood work revealed the TNF blocker was no longer effective. Since Entyvio is administered by infusion at the hospital, it is covered by Medicare Part B, not Part D, and the copay is covered by a Medigap policy (AARP United Health Care)."

"Life changing. Found out I had Crohn's. Got really sick. From 300 pounds to 94 pounds, was taken in for surgery, lower and upper GI was removed. Been taking Entyvio for 8 years. Was removed off Entyvio for two years and now sick again, going in to be scoped. Will know soon if it's grown or if it's still gone. But something is telling me it's back. I pray Entyvio works again."

"Taking Entyvio every 8th week. Experiencing extreme fatigue, tiredness, depression, lack of 'drive'/brain tiredness. Sometimes I feel better for the last 2 to 3 weeks of the time period. Due to the Covid-19 situation, I had to wait an additional 2 weeks for my dose in April, and during this period, all these side effects went away."
