Let's take a minute to talk about your medication. 

This is Remicade. TNF is a part of your immune system which can cause inflammation and damage. Remicade blocks TNF in your body. It can help improve conditions including Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Arthritis, and Plaque Psoriasis.

Remicade is given as an infusion in your vein, usually in your arm. A healthcare professional will prepare the medicine and give it to you.

Common side effects include sinus infections, sore throat, headaches and coughing. These are normal if they are mild, and should go away. Sometimes, reactions can happen during your infusion, or for up to 2 hours after. To reduce these reactions, your doctor may give you other medicine before your dose. If these or other side effects become reasons you want to stop taking this medicine, please talk to your doctor. 

As with any medicine, rare but serious side effects could occur. You should read the "Medication Guide" to know what to watch for. In general, you should pay close attention to your body. Call your doctor right away if you notice any unusual changes.

Remicade can lower your ability to fight infections. You should tell your doctor right away if you get an infection or open cuts or sores on your body. You should also call if you have a possible sign of infection, like a fever, cough or flu-like symptoms.

It's important to check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking other medicines, even if they don't require a prescription. Also, check with your doctor before getting vaccines.

For best results, continue Remicade as directed by your doctor because it can help improve your condition.
