    This is not the place to get your answers. If you are unsure about anything your doctor prescribes go get a second opinion. If all the TNF drugs have failed you have very few options left. Actemra was studied in thousands of patients but if you are unsure GO GET A SECOND OPINON. This is a message board that people use to complain about their jobs, this is not the place to get medical advice. Anyone can post pretty much anything they want here so be careful.
    Good luck with your RA and I hope you get the treatment you need.

    Thank you! I told my Dr. no,I can,t find peace about this infusion and drug. I ask her to try me on Simponi and if that failed ,I might reconsider actemra.
    An, NO this is not a fishing trip!!!!!!! I just feel the drug reps might know alittle more about the drug.

    This is not the forum for a represenative of a company to discuss wiith a patient, the patient and physician options. So good luck with your treatment. I hope you do well with it. We have ethical standards and most of us adhere to them. Thus your choice of treatment is between you and your physician and if we give any imput it should be to the physician.

    Anyone know if a contract sales force was hired to sell (Act)? What happened to Gene RA group? Looks like they bumped a lot over to promote new drug, but what I've seen and heard its in the crapper. Understandably co-promote done w/ BioIdec but confusing with huge layoff across board then contract field folks then RA launch of yet another RA drug with potentially shit safety profile. Guess just glad you gotta job these days. Truth be told, salaries in the 100's plus comp plan in the 70's tops at 200k is way over pay from glorified drug rep.

    We are not very smart. So we have 2000 reps to sell these two products.
