While receiving infliximab infusions, your doctor may recommend additional medications to help manage inflammation. NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are typically the first-line treatment for managing inflammation and pain in spondylitis.
If NSAIDs aren't providing enough relief, your healthcare team may consider adding other disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) that work differently than infliximab to help control inflammation. It's important to note that it may take up to 3 months to see the full effects of infliximab treatment. During this time, work closely with your rheumatologist to find the right combination of medications to manage your symptoms effectively.
Always discuss any additional medications with your healthcare team before starting them, as they need to ensure there are no interactions with your infliximab treatment.
