What to do if you have feelings of cold and headache on infliximab?

If you are experiencing feelings of cold and headache while taking infliximab, it is important to take the following steps:

1. Stop taking infliximab immediately and contact your doctor. Infliximab is a powerful medication that can cause serious side effects, so it is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing any adverse reactions.

2. Describe your symptoms to your doctor in detail. Be sure to mention when the symptoms started, how severe they are, and any other symptoms you are experiencing.

3. Bring all of your medications, including infliximab, to your doctor's appointment. This will help your doctor to determine if the side effects are being caused by infliximab or another medication.

4. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Your doctor may recommend that you stop taking infliximab, take a different medication, or adjust the dose of infliximab you are taking.

5. Be aware of the potential side effects of infliximab. Some of the most common side effects include infusion reactions (such as fever, chills, and nausea), headache, fatigue, and abdominal pain. Serious side effects, such as liver damage, kidney failure, and lymphoma, can also occur.

6. Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have about infliximab. Infliximab is an effective medication for many people with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, but it is important to be aware of the potential risks and benefits before starting treatment.
