A member asked:
Is anyone suffering with ulcerative colitis and having infliximab treatment effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 30% : Effective in about 30%. Effect may be short-lived or long term. Expensive, inconvenient therapy but may allow surgery in a healthier patient. A surgeon should always be part of the therapy team for a patient with uc who does not respond to the usual treat ment plan.
