Remicade® (Infliximab) is the latest medication to help treat Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Administered as an IV infusion, it has proven very effective at directly suppressing inflammation in the gut. Remicade acts by blocking a protein in your body that leads to inflammatory bowel disease and the painful symptoms experienced with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Results are apparent in as little as six treatment sessions a year after three starter doses. Treatment is administered by intravenous (IV) infusion over a two-hour period overseen by a healthcare provider. Patients may occasionally need additional medication before starting Remicade to prevent or reduce potential side effects of administration.

I had a morning appointment with Dr. Goldstein. His staff was very kind, helpful and professional. Dr. Goldstein was very personable, yet professional. I learn how to manage my problem, which no one prior to had been able to explain things to me. I left his office with a better understanding of my problem, and with new ideas on how to manage my problem. Thank you all. The trip to Tucson was well worth it.
