I can't believe that they're still trying to paint Benlysta in such a positive way
Ok, well I can actually believe it. But the truth of the matter is, Benlysta does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for over half of the people who try it. And for a drug that costs about $35,000 a year per person…I’d say that’s something to be mentioned…loudly.
Let’s also remind people that the drug has helped ZERO black patients. Zero. Let me try to iterate this as poignantly as possible. A drug meant to reduce symptoms of a disease that mostly affects black women…does not reduce symptoms for black women.
At this point, why are we even bothering???? Oh, right, because with great money comes great power, and great responsibility falls to the patients. That being said, if any of you are being recommended to Benlysta by your doctor, please give it another think-over. If you are black and considering Benlysta, stop. Just, stop.
