Remicade and allergy shots

[twob]

does anyone take allergy shots while on remicade. My son stopped the allergy shots this fall when diagnosed with Crohns and beginning remicade. But now they are acting up. It's all related I know but can you do both?

thanks.

I haven't seen anything to say you can't - I know that drugs like Benadryl and other allergy medications are fine.....I would double check with both doctors though to be safe....

I work for an allergist and do allergy shots all day long. There should be no issue doing both but check with your allergist. Some doctors have different guidelines.

my allergies this year are horrible! My eyes are constantly itchy. This is my first full Spring being on Remicade!

My 19 year old son started remicade last July and kept right on going with his allergy shots. He has never had an issue. All of his doctors said it was fine.
