Rheumatoid Arthritis (and its variants) :

Treatment of RA.... - - Posted by Remicade (Remicade), 14 January 2004

HI

I came to this site to find out my surgery i am having on my knee and i found this forum, though i do not suffer from RA.  I know how bad this disease is and can get.

I work for a company called Centocorwww.centocor.com  that is owned by Johnson & Johnson. we make a drug called Remicade. it doesnt cure RA but puts it into remission after a few infusions. It is FDA and EU approved for Chrohns disease and for RA. it has many more implications as well. this drug is growing and growing at alarming rates that its been hard for us at Centocor to keep up with the demand for this. we had made over 2 billion in 2003 for this drug alone. and its supposed to be bigger in the years to come.
I actually work in the manufacturing facility of the plant that makes this drug.  I have read hundreds of testimonials and talked to patients that had used our drug to get them back to normal life. to see the tears in these peoples eyes as they thank for for their life back is truely a great thing to witness.

Reason for this post is because i wanted to let people know of my Company and its drug that i help make. next time you have an appointment with your rhumatologist ask him about remicade or check out www.remicade.com
this isnt a sales pitch but just another person trying to help others live a normal life.
