I have been on it for about a year, I have had the worst rash around my lips and in the corner of my mouth. I can not deal with that. I am currently taking 1 time a month and may drop it all together this month. I find the side effects are almost as bad. My hair fell out, my joints hurt right after the shot and now this bad rash around my whole mouth. It did however stop the itch witch was a life saver but this rash around my lips everyone if focusing on when I talk to them. I can not handle that.I hope they come out with something better soon. By the way the itch has not come back since I dropped it to 1 time a month.

Good luck with what you do.

I have not had any side effects. It works well for me. I am completely clear for almost 2 years. I use every 2 other week. I have never had a side effect.

I know a lot of people have had success with the drug but after weighing everything I’ve decided not to take it. I find the company extremely aggressive, reposted unexplained weight gain, possible hospitalization due to joint pain, loss of hair and lady but not least increased risk of non Hodgkin lymphoma (suggest you google this if you want more info). Has anyone tried eucrisa?
