Remicade is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and plaque psoriasis in patients who have not responded adequately to other treatments.
Remicade is a monoclonal antibody that binds to TNF-alpha, a cytokine that drives inflammation. By blocking TNF-alpha, it reduces inflammatory responses that contribute to autoimmune symptoms.
Remicade is administered as an intravenous infusion by a healthcare professional. It carries risks of serious infections, infusion reactions, and may increase the risk of certain cancers. Live vaccines should be avoided during treatment. Patients should be screened for tuberculosis before starting therapy.
