I have recently seen a couple of posts about members taking solumedrol pre remicade infusion to stave off antibodies. I was under the impression it helped with an allergic reaction but didn't know it prevented antibodies, if so then would an initial combo of 6MP/Imuran or MTX not be necessary?
Here is one of the posts but it isn't the one that first caught my attention on this, I can't pull it up right now but in this one the member is responding to whether Remicade will work after not using it for 4 months(a question posed by the OP)

it has for me. I was off for almost a year. Being so short of time off I thin you should not need anything else. I am also taking soulmedrol to help with the possible build up of antibodies. My IC emails me a few days before my infusion. You might see if your center has that option.
