REMICADE News and Updates

REMICADE treats an underlying cause of ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

AS is not just a disease of the spine — it is a complex disease that affects the whole body. A few years ago, AS patients had only NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and painkillers to manage ankylosing spondylitis symptoms, but they were only minimally effective. Now that you have been diagnosed with AS, you have a great opportunity to improve many of your symptoms by using REMICADE.

Here are some reasons that you should make your move to REMICADE:

• REMICADE works with your immune system to block TNF-alpha, a protein in your body that triggers the inflammation leading to symptoms of AS.
• REMICADE is an advanced medicine that can reduce symptoms of AS in as soon as two weeks after you begin treatment. Individual results may vary.
• REMICADE has been proven to relieve many ankylosing spondylitis symptoms, such as spinal pain (pain in the back, neck, and hip), fatigue, and morning stiffness. Individual results may vary.
• By improving the many symptoms of AS, REMICADE can quickly and effectively help you enjoy everyday activities by permitting you to accomplish such activities with less pain. Individual results may vary.
