"Insurance company switched me off my Remicaid to the cheaper drug, Inflectra, causing severe flare. Headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. No energy during the day, I have to take several naps just to get through the day. I had just gotten used to being and feeling better after fighting with my colitis. The Remicade put me into remission, and now I'm sick again because of Inflectra."

"Was on REMICADE. Everything was great, and I was back to feeling normal and in remission for a long time. My insurance company did a mandatory med change so they could save a little bit of money. Now I'm in major pain again, going through a flare-up and near having to go to the ER to get help. One dose of Inflectra was all it took to mess me up again. My insurance won't even let me back on REMICADE. I truly hope no one else has to be forced on Inflectra."

"I swear they created this drug just to get rid of the sick people. It isn't working, and the only answer the doctor gives me is, 'it should be.' I have wounds on my body that won't heal. I swear this drug is bad for me. I am constantly sick. Because I have ulcerative colitis, any symptom I have is just related to that according to doctors. I will likely die from this drug. I just feel it. How is a drug with so many side effects even approved? We will just shut your immune system down, even though you will likely die from something this medication caused way faster than your health issue would have. But hey, we made a lot of money. Hope you enjoyed your experience on Earth."

"Have had ulcerative colitis for 50 years. Prednisone took care of flare-ups for 40 years. After a hospitalization, was put on Entyvio - worked great for 3 1/2 years and stopped working. Put on Stelara for 6 months - never really worked. Have been on Inflectra for 2 years - works great so far. Complete remission, no side effects. Only complaint is long infusion time."

"Treating ulcerative colitis. Entyvio worked 3 1/2 years - stopped working. Switched to Stelara - barely worked for 6 months. Switched to Inflectra 8 months ago - working great so far. Prednisone always clears up flare-ups - but at 10 cents a pill these infusion drug companies hate it & put out studies about the evils of steroids."

"I have been getting infusions, and it hasn't helped at all. It just gives a lot of headaches, and I have zero percent energy ever."
