Any Information Regarding Infliximab?

Clarksville, TN

I've had 2 infusions, my 3 will be in 2 days. I'll start monthly infusions in August.

A MySpondylitisTeam Member

Monthly would be odd, most do 6-8 weeks. It works pretty good for me, but wears off partially at about 5 weeks.

Biological For AS + IBD?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Grand Haven, MI

Is anyone taking a biological to treat both these conditions? I have to switch off Humira to something else. I check out Cimzia but their assistance program does not apply if you have medicare. Thus, far too expensive. I would rather not do Remicade because of the transfusion that is a little disruptive.

I switched from Simponi Aria and chose Enbrel over Inflectra but wondering if I just do better with infusions. All opinions and advice is welcome.
