I have been on Remicade for approximately 5 years and several months ago I started getting what I thought was acne but it was actually sores all over my face that took forever to go away and as soon as I'd clear one up I'd get a new one. These didn't itch tho. Went to the dermatoligist who treated it with antibiotics thinking it was a bacterial infection. My face would clear up on a months worth of antibiotics but as soon as I was off them I'd break out again. Turns out it IS a reaction to remicade. My rheumatologist says hes only seen 2 or 3 cases of it in the 25 years he's been practicing but it DOES happen. I'm now on a constant script of spironalactone which does the trick. Hope this helps you.

Zyrtec covers a wider spectrum of allergies than Claritan. It has helped me more than any other allergy medicine.
Also, do you have any followup contact with the drug manufacturer? I have ambassadors at Humira that always want to know any possible side effects that I have. They also seem to work closely with my rheumatologist for my treatment plan.

Glad I could be of help.

Thanks for the reply. I take Claritan every day already. I sometimes take Benedryl but it knocks me out for 10 hours.

Have they recommended zertec before infusion and a few days afterward. That is what we do for me. I sorry you have an allergic reaction
