Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Hi Deborah, This is Steph in VA. I take Remicade (400 mg every 6 weeks) and methotrexate (20 mg every Saturday), among other things. To prevent an allergic reaction to Remicade, my rheumy has ordered Tylenol and Benadryl 30 minutes before infusion as pre-meds. I've been on Remicade for 5 years this month and I haven't had any problems, thankfully.Take care,Steph in VA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hi everyone- I have just started Arava therapy of 10 mg a day and MTX 4 > tablets a week, this is instead of taking 25mg of MTX a week..
