My son is suffering form ankylosing spondylitis since 10 years. He has taken embark for 4 years monthly once and exemptia 40 mg for 2 years. After using exemptia he got TB and now we stopped all medicine related to ankylosing spondylitis except painkillers. Now as TB medicine course is over, can I take exemptia. Why I'm asking is that I'm having slight pain in morning. As a preventive measure can I take the injection. And also please suggest can I take safe or exemptia. Thanks.

Right now it's not advisable to resume embark or exemptia due to risk of recurrence of tuberculosis relapse. Continue conservative management of ankylosing spondylitis with analgesics and exercise. Wish you good health.

Better to avoid as it will decrease immunity.
