Seems to be on the way according to this article:

I hope it comes soon to help people who can't afford remicade.

It sounds fine, as long as they maintain bioequivelance with the brand name version.

Hasn't that been a problem with other generic varieties of drugs?

First I've heard about generic Remicade. Thanks for posting that, PV.

I see the NHS are already onto it. No surprises there. I'm kind of glad I got Remicade when I did, although technically there should be no difference.
