Remicade

Remicade, also known as infliximab, is a medication used to treat certain autoimmune conditions like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis. It works by blocking a protein called tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), which plays a role in causing inflammation and immune system activity. By reducing inflammation, Remicade helps decrease symptoms, prevent tissue damage, and improve quality of life. It is administered via infusion, usually in a healthcare setting, and requires monitoring for side effects and effectiveness.
