Remicade vs Humira?

Topics

Momma

The prometheus test showed antibodies to Remicade. Although, my son is feeling better since the 1st infusion, so maybe he is getting partial benefits regardless of the antibodies. In any event, they want to switch to Humira and I have lots of questions for anyone with experience:

-Do we have to wait for Remicade to get out of his system before we can start Humira?
-How long should it take for Humira to kick in with a jpouch?
-Could he have an allergic reaction to Humira as he did Remicade?
-Do they pre-medicate with benedryl, steroids to avoid allergic reaction, before Humira injection?
-Could he develop antibodies to Humira too?
-Seeing that he "failed" Remicade does this reduce the success rate of Humira? -Has anyone failed one biologic but had success with another?
