Infliximab infusion

Product Introduction

Infliximab Infusion treats various inflammatory conditions affecting joints (rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis), skin (psoriasis), and bowel (ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease). This medication reduces inflammation by blocking TNF alpha.

A healthcare professional administers Infliximab Infusion as a slow drip into a vein, monitoring you throughout the process. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and frequency to effectively manage your symptoms. Attending all scheduled infusions is crucial for symptom relief.

Benefits of Infliximab Powder for Injection

In Rheumatoid Arthritis

Infliximab Infusion reduces pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints, slowing down the progression of bone and joint damage. This treatment makes daily activities easier, improving your quality of life. A doctor or nurse administers the injection, and self-administration is not recommended.

In Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis affects the spine or larger joints, often starting in the lower back and potentially spreading to the neck or other joints. Infliximab Infusion alleviates pain, stiffness, and swelling in the spine and joints, enhancing flexibility and preventing disease progression. This enables a more active and fulfilling life.

In Psoriasis

Psoriasis causes skin cells to grow too quickly, leading to scales and dry patches, often on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Infliximab Infusion reduces these scaly, itchy patches. It may take several months for the treatment to fully take effect. Avoid alcohol during treatment, and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

In Ulcerative Colitis

Ulcerative colitis causes the lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum to become red and swollen, leading to bleeding, frequent diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Infliximab Infusion alleviates these symptoms and helps prevent their recurrence. Staying hydrated is important during treatment.

In Crohn’s Disease

Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the intestines, with symptoms like diarrhea and abdominal pain. Infliximab Infusion reduces inflammation, relieves symptoms, and helps prevent their recurrence.
