My daughter is on Methotrexate for a 7 months and she went on it specifically, so she could start Infliximab infusion. She has completed a 3-dose course of Infliximab concomitantly with Methotrexate. Neither appears to be helping! We were told the Methotrexate helps the Infliximab work. Is this true or false?

Hi there, I was taking Methotrexate before I started the Infliximab. They are some sort of immunologic modulator to help in keeping you well the time between infusions. Infliximab suppresses part of the immune system and modifies the process of inflammation that is going on during your illness and it is only used to reduce the inflammation of the intestines in severe Crohn's disease when other treatment has been ineffective.
