I'm taking generic imuran and I've noticed that I'm losing hair! I've been taking it for 3 months (150mg). I haven't noticed any bald spots, but my hands are covered with hair when I shampoo and I'm...
Yeah, my GI has mentioned it a couple of times. I kind of would like to "save" remicade as an option if my colitis spreads. I'm almost done with my prednisone taper and I've been on imuran for a...
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has been prescribed remicade for proctosigmoiditis? It seems most people here that are using remicade have pancolitis....
