REMICADE and KINERET should not be taken together.

How will REMICADE be given to me?

REMICADE will be given to you by a healthcare professional. REMICADE will be given to you by an IV. This means that the medicine will be given to you through a needle placed in a vein in your arm. It will take about 2 hours to give you the full dose of medicine. During that time and for a period after you receive REMICADE, you will be monitored by a health care professional. Your doctor may ask you to take other medicines along with REMICADE.

Only a healthcare professional should prepare the medicine and administer it to you.

How often will I receive REMICADE?
