REMICADE News and Updates

Because rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a progressive disease that damages your joints, it’s important to start an effective treatment as soon as possible.

• In the past, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been treated with pain managers or products to help slow the disease. But for many patients — even those being treated with methotrexate alone — damage from the disease continues.
• Many rheumatologists now believe it’s important to treat RA in its early stages with the most advanced therapy available. Even if you’ve had rheumatoid arthritis for many years, it’s still very important to start an advanced treatment as soon as possible.
• If you have moderate to severe RA and are on methotrexate alone or pain managers, your RA may still be progressing, causing further damage to your joints.
• REMICADE goes beyond relieving pain and stiffness to help stop further joint damage and for some patients without joint damage may help stop damage before it starts.

So talk to your rheumatologist about therapy with REMICADE today.

Don't just manage the symptoms, help stop further joint damage.
