Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Wanda, I am probably the most horribly allergic person in the world and I maxed out on the skin testing for rodents. I am on Remicade and was very worried about it, but nothing else was working so I held my breath and tried it. My doctor had me premedicate with 40 mg of prednisone by mouth, two ES Tylenol, and 50 mg of Benadryl one hour before. They started my infusion very slow. Then I took Benadryl 25 mg every 4 hours through the night and I did fine. I've had three infusions now and only premedicate with the Benadryl and Tylenol now. Just my experience.
