A member asked:
If doses of remicade (infliximab) are missed can it be life threatening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Patients do not go into Remicade (infliximab) withdrawal. However, if a dose is missed the patient could flare. It depends on the severity and type of disease the Remicade (infliximab) is being used to treat.
