While biologics can be highly effective, they are not without risks. Common side effects include:
* Infection: Since biologics can suppress the immune system, there is an increased risk of infections. * Injection Site Reactions: Pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site. * Allergic Reactions: Some patients may experience allergic reactions, ranging from mild to severe. * Long-term Risks: There may be long-term risks such as an increased risk of certain cancers, although this is still under study.
