A bit concerning is the possible side effects, but like any drug that's affects the immune system there are bound to be risks,
The trouble is these days they have to warn us about everything. But at least it makes the dermatologists keep an eye on us.
I think if we looked at all treatments (even the natural ones) we could find some side effect. But we have to weigh up as individuals is the risk worth taking, and is it high enough to put us off.
The good thing about the Bio's is as soon as there is a problem spotted they will pull you, and the majority of side effects are reversible or will go away.
I didn't know the side effects were reversible, if monitored .. I know the side effects are reversible with DMF if caught early enough ...the fact that bios are similar in that respect makes me more confident in case I ever need to change
