Skyrizi or Remicade

I have had 9 pretty good years on Remicade. It's a long infusion though- 2-2.5 hours

I was on Remicade but it stopped working (almost 15 years on it) and then went to Stelara for year or two which is not working anymore so I am switching to Skyrizi.  Part of my issue is with psoriasis and that is how I discovered the Remicade had stopped working.  A friend is using it to treat his psoriasis and his doctor told him hands down it is the best for any of our conditions so we shall see.  Good luck

Hi,

My friend takes Skyrizi for her psoriasis and has great success. I tried it and had absolutely no success. Next and last is Remicade but not sure I want to continue down the biologic road.
Good luck, hope it helps you!

I have been on Remicade (now biosimilar Inflectra) since 2016. It has kept me in remission since starting it. Antibiotics first put me in remission, and Remicade made it so I could discontinue the antibiotics. I also take low dose oral Imuran. My infusions run only an hour now. Skyrizi is on the menu if Inflectra fails in the future. No side effects so far.

How often do each of you take the Remicade?

Thanks

I was doing to every 4 weeks when I stopped but it was 8 weeks for a long time.

I am on a 6 week schedule to get better coverage for my arthritis.
