And I received fourth dose before the time and the pain was gone 5weekes later the same pain started again . I consulted a doctor in my town he told me I should take 3mg/kg means i have to receive 200mg every 8 weeks. Please dear doctor I need your consultation. thanks
Reclothe recommended dosage of infliximab is 5 mg/kg as intravenous infusion on 0,2 and 6 weeks and then 5 mg/kg every 6 weeks in ANKYLOSING spondylitis. For the proper treatment, you must consult a rheumatologist and abide by his instructions. Thanks
