Is anyone here taking Inflectra?

I am going to start Inflectra for my RA, has anyone else been taking it, and does it work? I was diagnosed with RA in January of 2020. I have tried three other medications since and have had terrible side effects and other issues.

  1. Hi ! Thanks so much for submitting your question. I'm hopeful other members in our community with experience taking this medication will chime in and give you some insight. If it at all helps, I wanted to include this overview of Inflectra we have on our website here: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/inflectra-biosimilar-remicade-infliximab/ I'm sorry to hear the other medications you've tried have not helped and brought awful side effects! I hope a new treatment plan will provide you relief. I'll be thinking of you, Teresa <3 Hang in there! -Alesandra (RheumatoidArthritis.net Team)

    1. Hi ,

      I am on Remicade for my RA, which is similar to Inflectra (Inflectra is the biosimilar to Remicade). I failed Humira but have been on Remicade now for almost 4 years. I still experience some breakthrough pain, but overall my RA is pretty well managed. I also take Azathioprine alongside the Remicade. Happy to answer any specific questions. Thinking of you!!

      Warmly,
