Remicade Reviews

Show: for
Working / Worked
This worked but I developed an allergic reaction and had to discontinue.
Saved my life a few yrs back. Had a bad flare last year and tried it again. I had a horrible reaction to it.
Working / Worked
Worked well a higher doses 10mg/Kg.
On this now, but durring the 4th and most recent IV treatment I had an allergic reaction (trouble breathing, dizziness, itchy feet, hands, and chest, abdomen pain). I feel somewhat better now.
worked well for past few months..slowly stopping to work
just up the dose to every 6 weeks. was not lasting long enough.
Well I went off of it for a year ; back on it now ..had extremely bad reaction the first time back on ...but now its okay...however I am not sure its really working because I have 2 fistuals and I am still experiencing discharge ..sometimes alot !
was on this for about 2 years, it worked very well but the side effects got worse and i didnt like the risks
Remicade has worked very well for me for 18 months. I have recently noticed severe hair loss all of sudden. I have gone from a thick head of hair to very thin hair with gaps in 2 weeks.
This treatment is amazing and you'll feel like you never have before. It's so helpful if you have severe Crohn's like I do. But, if you have surgery, they don't like to give you remicade, because it supresses the immune system.
