User Reviews for Remicade

My 15 year old daughter was diagnosed in January 08 with Uveitis. We did drops for 5 months with not result. Starting in May of 2008 we began an infusion treatment of Remicade and today, her flare is controlled. Life has returned to "almost" normal. We started at every 4 weeks and have progressed to every 6 weeks. We hope to make it to 8 and still control the flare. I am calling it a miracle drug. The issue is health care. We have insurance due to the grace of God. Each treatment comes at a price tag of $12K.

I am a 18 year old male. I have been on Remicade for about a year now. I got Uveitis about 4 years back. My thing, according to the doctors is chronic bilateral panuveitis. I have in both my eyes. I had been on so many medications including 6 months on steroids. But miracle came with Remicade - my inflammation is under control now. I will be on it for about a year or two more.

My son will be 17 next week. He was diagnosed with ideopathic bilateral pan uveitis 6 years ago. He had double cataract surgery at age 14. He was treated with 6-7 different immunosuppresant medicines, nothing worked. Last August, he was placed on Remicade, once a month. His inflammation has been almost quiet for nine months. His vision is stable. He is back to school and for the first time in five years, he is able to enjoy being a normal teenager.
