Remicade is used to reduce inflammation by stopping the action of an immune system protein called tumor necrosis factor (TNF). When TNF accumulates in the body, it can lead to inflammation and damage of the joints. By inhibiting the production of TNF, Remicade can help to reduce pain and swelling in the affected joints.
In addition to relieving pain and inflammation, Remicade has been shown to improve physical function and reduce disease progression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Studies demonstrate that those who take Remicade typically experience less joint damage over time than those who do not take it. In addition, patients taking this medication may experience an improvement in their overall quality of life, as the ability to work and perform everyday activities are improved.
