I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and my doctor has recommended infliximab. Should I go for it?


Infliximab is a newer disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug. It works by inhibiting tumor necrosis factor alpha. So far, most people who have undergone treatment with infliximab indicate that the drug is great. It is administered as an injection every few weeks. The symptom improval is marked and it also slows down progression of disease. The only negative is the cost.
