Remicade - treatment for psoriatic arthritis

[Guest guest]

I just read at www.arthritisdaily.com that Remicade is being tested

for psoriatic arthritis. Has anyone heard about this or know

anything about Remicade?

Thanks

I was actually on remicade for about 9 months. We switched to it after Enbrel

became ineffective at 25 mg. The Remicade was never as effective for me as the

Enbrel was when we originally started it. Also, the Remicade was substantially

more expensive for me. Enbrel was considered a prescription, of course, so I

was charged $25/ month for a non generic. Remicade was an office visit-

according to my insurance, so I was charged 20% of the visit. I was on a 6 week

cycle so my copay made my out of pocket about $300/ month.

Hi there

I'm not sure where you are in the world but I'm in the uk and have

been on Remicade for the last few months so it is available here.

It hasn't made any difference to me so far but other people getting

the infusions at the same time as me have had great results. If you

would like more information there are various websites or you tell

me what you want to know and I'll see if I can help. I get it on

the NHS so I don't know much about prices or anything like that.
