Have any of your children been on Remicade for a period of time, no allergic reaction? Then, out of no where, during a treatment, they experienced an anaphylactic episode? Throat closing up, unable to talk, rapid heart rate, feels like body is on fire, severe stomach cramps, nausea, flushed?
My daughter has been on Remicade for over 2 years and never had a problem.
Six weeks ago she had a mild reaction- wasn’t terrible and after steroids and Benadryl were given, infusion resumed. Today, pre meds were administered, however, after 13 minutes of medication, she experienced an anaphylactic episode again but this time it was worse. Rapid response team was called and meds were given.
Have your kids ever experienced this type of reaction ? What was the outcome? Did the dr switch meds or increased pre- med drugs? Any feedback is appreciated .
