INFLECTRA Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is INFLECTRA?
INFLECTRA is the brand name for infliximab-dyyb and is available as an injection for IV use.
What dosages is INFLECTRA available in?
INFLECTRA is available as a 100 mg IV infusion.
What is INFLECTRA used for?
INFLECTRA is a biologic DMARD and is used for the following:
- Moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease (CD)
- Moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC)
- Moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
- Ankylosing spondylitis (AS)
- Psoriatic arthritis (PsA)
- Severe plaque psoriasis (PsO)
How does INFLECTRA work?
INFLECTRA is a biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) that blocks a protein called tumor necrosis factor (TNF). By blocking TNF, Remicade (infliximab) lowers inflammation in your body to treat symptoms caused by many autoimmune conditions.
How do I take INFLECTRA?
INFLECTRA is taken in a cycle of 28 days. For the first 21 days of the cycle, the typical dose is 125 mg taken by mouth once a day. During the last 7 days of the cycle, you won’t take any Ibrance (palbociclib). At the end of the 28 days, the cycle typically starts over again. Your dose might be different if you have liver problems or if you’re taking medications that might interact with Ibrance (palbociclib) (see Pharmacist Tips). You’ll also need to take either an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant (Faslodex) for treatment. In addition, if you’re a male or a female who hasn’t undergone menopause, your provider might also recommend you take a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist.
Is it safe for me to take INFLECTRA?
INFLECTRA is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. INFLECTRA doses >5 mg/kg in moderate to severe heart failure.
