My Daughter is having her first Remicade infusion right now. So far it seems to be going okay except for the anxiety, (hers and mine).
The nurse explained that she was starting with a pre-med called solu-cortef. She explained that it was a short acting corticosteroid, and that pretty much everyone gets it.
I didn't know that she was going to be getting this. Can someone explain what the reason for getting this is?
Will this have the same concerns as taking Prednisone?
I couldn't find much information about this. Even Remicade FAQ's don't mention anything about having to take this.
