    No not heard of this drug, I've sent you the NICE report on it's use and info, I am on a biological drug Benepali, it's great been on it for about 6 months, no inflammation now and no side effects, I inject it once a week into my upper leg it's one of those preloaded syringes I just press on my leg for about 30 seconds, I'm glad mines not orally because I have IBS.
