Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Dear Rhonda, Hello! Sorry it took so long to reply. I have been on Remicade since April 2000 and it works really well for me. I haven't had any side effects. They do a slow drip for 1 hour to see if you develop an allergic reaction. I get Benadryl and Tylenol for pre-meds to prevent an allergic reaction. The dosage is determined by your weight. My other meds are Prednisone, Ibuprofen, Methotrexate, Folic Acidand Azulfidine EN. Take care,Steph in VA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>gonna start remicade next week, feeling pretty scared about it.
