ENTYVIO to Remicade?

Has anyone gone from using ENTYVIO to Remicade? If so, any different side effects? I know the transfusion is 3x as long but….I don’t care if it takes all day, as long as it works!

  1. Hi ! I hope you get some responses from those who went from Entyvio to Remicade.. but I did want to chime in as I went from Humira to Remicade recently! To be honest, I have not seen any side effects from Remicade except tiredness day of and day after. I think this tiredness is also due to the Benadryl that I get as a pre-medication. I have been on Remicade since the end of September. Unfortunately, I'm not quite in remission yet, but I have seen a lot of improvement!

    Hope this is a good starting point for you and that others have more to say! Please keep us updated on how your medication transition goes. -Eshani (IBD Team Member)

    1. I have been on both of those meds. For me personally, Remicade infusions made me very tired. I would make sure I had nothing to do afterwards. I would always head straight home and take a nap and just rest the remainder of the day. -Elizabeth (team member)
