anyone with an implant taking immune system suppression medication?

Postby sweaterfan » Sat Oct 24, 2020 10:58 pm

I'm currently on 3 rheumatoid arthritis medications (prednisone, plaquenil and leflunomide). These have helped a lot but since I still have some swelling and pain my rheumatologist will be replacing these with Simponi Aria infusions (similar to Humira we see advertised on TV). I haven't yet made an appointment to ask an implant surgeon (I have another surgery that has to occur first), but do you think such medications prevent me from getting an implant? Anyone here on such immune system suppressors?
Born 1956, TRT, Peyronies (no improvement after 1 cycle of Xiaflex so discontinued), using alprostadil but have possible VL. Considering an implant. Aquablation for BPH Nov 2 2020, TURP 6/14/2021.
