Coastal Infusion Administers Remicade®

Remicade (infliximab-dyyb) is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis (UC). Remicade also treats plaque psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis. Remicade primarily works by inhibiting the action of TNF-alpha, a cytokine involved in the inflammatory response. By blocking TNF-alpha, Remicade helps modulate the overactive immune response seen in these diseases. By reducing inflammation, Remicade helps alleviate symptoms associated with autoimmune diseases and bowel diseases, such as joint pain, swelling, inflammation, immobility, and overall disease management.
