A bit more on Remicade and surgery

[Guest guest]

" There is limited safety experience of surgical procedures in Remicade

treated patients. The long half life of Remicade should be taken into

consideration if a surgical procedure is planned. A patient who requires

surgery while on Remicade should be closely monitored for infections,

and appropriate actions should be taken.

There is limited safety experience of Remicade treatment in patients who

have undergone arthroplasty. "
