What are iv infusions in sjgren's patients for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Two infusions: There are two possible. One is Remicade (infliximab) which treats both an underlying disease such as rheumatoid arthritis as well as the sjogrens. The other is immunoglobulin particularly to treat the neuropathy associated with sjogrens, but this is very expensive.
