Nucleic acids are linear polymers (chains) of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of three components: a purine or pyrimidine nucleobase (sometimes termed nitrogenous base or simply base), a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group. The substructure consisting of a nucleobase plus sugar is termed a nucleoside.
Other studies of Remicade and methotrexate indicate that the two medications together can successfully reduce symptoms of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, the researchers report. Studies of Humira and Enbrel in conjunction with methotrexate also revealed the combination to be more effective than the biologic alone.
Remicade Infusion Therapy. Remicade (infliximab) is a medication used to treat Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Remicade helps decrease inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis. For Crohn's disease, Remicade can help in decreasing symptoms and achieving remission in patients who have not adequately responded to other medical therapies.
