Stelara or Entyvio for perianal disease?

Dear jpouch members

I'd love to hear any experiences of either drug for keeping pouches happy. Specifically I need to avoid further fistuale etc..

I have questions about which to choose in terms of safety in pregnancy/ cancer risk/ side effects... it's hard to determine comparisons from the literature hence I'm seeking views from you - the experts!

Having a lot of muscle issues which all started from antibiotics but wondering if current tx (Humira and Imuran) may be contributing. So I'm torn between going for Stelara (which might help general inflammation throughout body), or Entyvio (which I think more specifically focussed on Gi tract ) so if muscles are due to drug side effects and not systemic inflammation then maybe this would be better ... ��

Any thoughts most welcome...

I've been in Entyvio for 2 years for pouchitis and have been fine I had in the past melanoma and my dr thought this was the safest drug to be on
