Infliximab has been studied only in combination with conventional immunosuppressive therapy.Ulcerative colitisRemsima is indicated for treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in adult patients who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy including corticosteroids and 6‑mercaptopurine (6‑MP) or azathioprine (AZA), or who are intolerant to or have medical contraindications for such therapies.Paediatric ulcerative colitisRemsima is indicated for treatment of severely active ulcerative colitis in children and adolescents aged six to 17 years, who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy including corticosteroids and 6‑MP or AZA, or who are intolerant to or have medical contraindications for such therapies.Ankylosing spondylitisRemsima is indicated for treatment of severe, active ankylosing spondylitis, in adult patients who have responded inadequately to conventional therapy.Psoriatic arthritisRemsima is indicated for treatment of active and progressive psoriatic arthritis in adult patients when the response to previous DMARD therapy has been inadequate.Remsima should be administered:in combination with methotrexate;or alone in patients who show intolerance to methotrexate or for whom methotrexate is contraindicated.Infliximab has been shown to improve physical function in patients with psoriatic arthritis, and to reduce the rate of progression of peripheral joint damage as measured by X‑ray in patients with polyarticular symmetrical subtypes of the disease.PsoriasisRemsima is indicated for treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adult patients who failed to respond to, or who have a contraindication to, or are intolerant to other systemic therapy including cyclosporine, methotrexate or psoralen ultra-violet A (PUVA).

WHAT REMSIMA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Remsima contains the active substance infliximab. Infliximab is a
monoclonal antibody - a type of
protein that attaches to a specific target in the body called TNF
(tumour necrosis factor) alpha.
Remsima belongs to a group of medicines called ‘TNF blockers’. It
is used in adults for the following
inflammatory diseases:
•
Rheumatoid arthritis
•
Psoriatic arthritis
•
Ankylosing spondylitis (Bechterew’s disease)
•
Psoriasis.
Remsima is also used in adults and children 6 years of age or older
for:
•
Crohn’s disease
•
Ulcerative colitis.
Remsima works by selectively attaching to TNF alpha and blocking its
action. TNF alpha is involved
in inflammatory processes of the body so blocking it can reduce the
inflammation in your body.
