Sexual life while using inflixiimab

Hello! I’m little bit embarrassed to ask this whereas i really want to know is making sex or masturbating while using infliximab(remsima or remicade) is effect to medicine’s duration for example if i make too much, is my period will be early because now 6 weeks is just perfect for my attacks i don’t want to risk it.
Thank you for answers and i’m sorry about my grammar. (UC)

    1. I've never had any problems, but talk with your doctor just in case. Ask to have your infliximab levels checked (blood work) and maybe if they are low, maybe the doctor will change infusions to every 4 weeks. I was on infliximab every 4 weeks for 8 years before my body became immune.
      Let us know how you get on.

  2. Thank you so much about your reply mr. Vern 🙏

    1. as far as I'm aware, it shouldn't make any difference. You shouldn't be embarrassed about asking anything here, by the way. It's a normal part of life, and something I believe we should be opening up about.
