Hi.
Thanks for your query and understanding the problem correctly.
The recommended dose of REMICADE ® is 5 mg/kg given as an intravenous induction regimen at 0, 2, and 6 weeks
One vial contains 100 mg
So if your dose is correct if your weight is around 60 kg ..
The dose depends upon your weight.
Please discuss this with your Doctor next time you are going to have Remicade and take at the stipulated time.
