A friend of mine has been on this as a home infusion. She gets it every eight weeks. A nurse from Walgreen's comes to her home and starts and IV then gives the drug. She does not have the anxiety or worry about finding a restroom quickly due to unpredictable urges due to the Remicade infusions. She also takes pills for this something like Lialda...not sure of the spelling.
