Due to possible life threatening side effects, one must be monitored by a health care professional trained in ACLS. The amount of time it takes for the mediaction to take effect varies for everyone. Some can feel the effects after the first infusion and for others it may take three or more infusions.

Do you feel better right away, is it time released? Does it accumulate infusion after infusion. Please let me know. Thank you How does Remicade feel once you have had a few infusions.

Two years after an illeostomy I was admitted to the hospital with more severe Crohn's symptoms (this time, the lesions were ON my abdomen)---I was put on remicaid when it was newly approved for Crohn's. It has been my miracle. I receive treatment every six weeks and am now able to hold a job as well as care for my family. I cannot say enough good things about it. I don't seem to suffer any side-effects--but if I run late in getting in for the treatment, I do start to feel bad. I now take no other medication--at all. Two months ago, I went in for my remicaid treatment and my Dr. insisted on seeing me in an examination room as he had only seen me in the remicaid room for 2 years!!!! It was nice to see him and catch up on the happier points of our lives. I recommend Remicaid to anyone who is suffering. Remicaid changed my life!!!

Even though it lists side effects and whatnot, it smacks of pharma-co propaganda. This is pretty much a plug for Remicade.

She was hesitant to try either because of their serious side effects (i.e. cancer), but basically had no choice & chose Remicade. Unfortunately, for her, it did not help her at all as far as her pain went even after the 3 treatments. She then tried the 6MP for a little bit, but was at the point where she was in increasing pain daily, barely able to eat a meal a day and had to drop out of school. We went to the surgeon yesterday and she is scheduled for an Ileocolic Resection in a couple of weeks. The surgeon seems very optimistic so we are hoping for the best.
