Are you considering adding a GLP-1 medication to your current Remicade treatment for AS?
Remicade (infliximab) is a TNF inhibitor that's commonly used to treat AS by reducing inflammation and slowing disease progression. It has also been shown to help improve anemia and fatigue in people with AS.
While the available information doesn't specifically address combining GLP-1 medications with Remicade for AS treatment, it's important to discuss this with your rheumatologist. They can evaluate:
* How a GLP-1 might interact with your current Remicade treatment
* Whether adding another medication aligns with your treatment goals
* Any potential benefits or risks specific to your situation
* How to monitor your response if you decide to try this combination
Your doctor knows your complete medical history and can help determine if this combination makes sense for managing your AS. They may also want to coordinate with other specialists if you're considering a GLP-1 for additional health reasons.
Have you already brought this up with your rheumatologist? They're your best resource for making this decision safely.
