Date:7/21/2011

ing.  REMICADE® is a two-hour infusion administered every 6 or 8 weeks (indication-dependent), following a standard induction regimen that requires treatment at weeks 0, 2 and 6.  As a result, REMICADE® patients may require as few as six treatments each year as maintenance therapy.

Janssen Biotech, Inc. discovered and developed REMICADE® and markets the product in the United States.  The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies market REMICADE® in Canada, Central and South America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.  

In Japan, Indonesia, and Taiwan, Janssen Biotech, Inc. licenses distribution rights to REMICADE® to Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation.  In Europe, Russia and Turkey, Janssen Biotech, Inc. licenses distribution rights to REMICADE® to Schering-Plough (Ireland) Company, a subsidiary of Merck & Co, Inc.

Unusual cancers have been reported in children and teenage patients taking TNF-blocker medicines. A rare form of fatal lymphoma has occurred mostly in teenage or young adult males with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who were taking REMICADE® and azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine.  For children and adults taking TNF blockers, including REMICADE®, the chances of getting lymphoma or other cancers may increase.
