Infusions may be given more frequently at the start of therapy, known as the induction period. Sometimes pre-medications are administered prior to infusions, such as steroids, benadryl, or tylenol. An observation time may be required after your infusion.
The most common side effects of Inflectra include respiratory infections, cough, stomach pain and headache.
