Remicade

What is Remicade?

Remicade (Infliximab) is a monoclonal antibody manufactured by Centocor, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson.

Who takes it, and for what condition?

Patients who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn's disease take the immune-suppressing drug Remicade.

How does Remicade work?

Remicade blocks tumornecrosis factor (TNF), which is made by certain blood cells in the body. By blocking the TNF, Remicade may reduce the inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

Remicade patients have suffered lymphoma, a type of cancer, at three times the rate of the general public. The drug also has been associated with blood disorders, central nervous system disorders and tuberculosis.
