Comment:
I have been using remicade for 6 years. At first it way very expensive, $18,000 per treatment (using 10 vials), now cost is 1/2 of that. Very satisfied with drug, but the infusion process is a pain since you have to get it intraveinously. The crohns is now in remission. The only dissapointing effect of crohns is the constant diahrea.

Iv been haveing Infliximab IV for 5 years, i was 21 when i had my first, its the best thing they could have done for me as it works wonders, only downfall is that i have to have it every 4 and a half weeks but for 90% of that time i feel 'normal' and can do normal things with my 5 year old without feeling too tired or in any pain. I personally would definetly recommend it but everyones body is dif ... Show Full Comment
