Inflixmab

[Brian1977]

Hi I've been having a bad flare up since June of my ulcerative colitis I also have peripheral and axial spondyloarthritis which hasn't been controlled neither amgevita failed and I started inflixmab I had my 2nd infusion last week. I have been on steroids since June but as soon as I taper down to 20mg it flares up again. I was hoping the inflixmab would have helped but back down to 20mg of pred and the bleeding has got worse. When should the inflixmab start to help if ot does at all thanks

hi brian,

I was on inflectra & it didn’t work for me. However, they did tell me that you usually don’t see results until after the 4th infusion…

I’m now on Adalimumab & feeling great. I’d talk to your GI doc and rheumy if you don’t see a big improvement after the 3rd or 4th dose.

Hang in there, it gets better. Remission is a beautiful thing.

Cheers.
