Side affects from Remicade


Sun, July 19, 2015 12:35 PM

My daughter has been remicade for 4 years.  She is 23 years old. She has been having skin infections for the past year.  Nothing seems to cure it. Any one else having issues on Remicade?  Concerned Mom.

I took remicade for a few years without issue but moved to Cimzia and then Humira after that. All three drugs seem to have similar side effects. Under Humira I was getting infections that put me in the hospital 6 times in 3 years. With Cimzia I developed a bad skin infection. I now take Entyvio which targets just the digestive system and not the complete immune system. So far so good.
