About Remicade
Remicade (infliximab) is used to treat certain types of arthritis (Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis), certain bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis (UC)), as well as plaque psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis (an inflammatory disease that, over time, can cause some of the bones in the spine to fuse).
In these inflammatory conditions, your immune system becomes overactive and produces excess amounts of a protein called TNF-alpha (tumor necrosis factor alpha), which causes your immune system to attack healthy cells. Remicade blocks the action of TNF-alpha, preventing inflammation.
In recent years, a number of infliximab biosimilars have been introduced, including Avsola (Amgen), Inflectra (Pfizer), and Renflexis (Merck), which are often prescribed instead of original Remicade.
Getting Your Remicade Infusion
Remicade is administered by intravenous infusion every eight weeks (every 6 weeks for ankylosing spondylitis) after an induction regimen that includes three doses over six weeks. Each infusion takes about two hours.
Your doctor may prescribe premedication with an antihistamine, acetaminophen, and/or corticosteroid along with your Remicade infusion.
