Can Otezla cause constipation?

Can Otezla impact your bowel movements, like not going or constipation?

  1. Hi , thanks for reaching out here. I hope some of our community members will stop by and share their personal experiences with you.

    The only information I have been able to find regarding Otezla and bowel movements is that a common side effect of it is diarrhoea. The following article has some information on Otezla and its side effects, which I thought may be helpful: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/medications/target-specific-dmards-how-well-works-side-effects/ Have you had a chance to chat with your doctor about this yet? -Catherine, Community Moderator

    1. Hi , thanks for your question. I know a common side effect of Otezla is diarrhea and nausea, however, because we are all different, we react differently to medicine. Have you had a chance to talk to your doctor about this yet? In the meantime, I am going to send you over a forum discussion about Otezla from our community. I hope this helps. https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/topic/otezla/
