REMICADE® infusion therapy is a prescription medication administered via IV to help treat a variety of autoimmune diseases. REMICADE is available at Optimum Care Infusion Center.
REMICADE infusion therapy (infliximab) is an FDA-approved, brand-name prescription medication that treats certain autoimmune diseases in adults and children.
When a patient lives with an autoimmune disease, their body’s immune system attacks healthy tissues. REMICADE is a monoclonal antibody formula that blocks the actions of a natural substance in the body called tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a). This helps to decrease inflammation and weaken the immune system, which ultimately relieves symptoms and slows or stops disease progression.
REMICADE infusion therapy is prescribed by physicians to treat:
REMICADE infusion therapy can reduce signs and symptoms in each of these conditions. For patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, REMICADE can also induce and maintain remission. For those with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis, it can help stop further joint damage and improve physical function.

REMICADE is administered via infusion therapy in one of our comfortable infusion suites over approximately two hours. Your doctor will prescribe a specific dosage based on your medical condition, weight, and other factors.
REMICADE infusion therapy is usually prescribed in a series of doses as part of the ongoing treatment plan for your chronic disease. Your doctor will likely prescribe a starter series to be administered three times in the first six weeks, followed by a maintenance schedule of one infusion every eight weeks. We recommend drinking plenty of water and dressing comfortably for your infusion appointments.
The Optimum Care team will monitor you for any possible side effects during and after your infusion treatment. Possible REMICADE side effects include pain or swelling at the injection site, shortness of breath, stomach pain, nausea, chills, fever, headache, or rash. The use of REMICADE can also lower your body’s ability to fight infections. Other side effects are also possible.
If you have concerns about REMICADE side effects, contact your referring provider.
Your comfort during REMICADE infusion therapy at Optimum Care is our priority. Our REMICADE patients enjoy walk-up parking, complimentary entertainment and snacks, and a team of highly trained providers during each injection.
