Nothing is FDA approved for reactive arthritis because of a lack of research. Reactive arthritis is rare in the realm of spondyloartrtitis which collectively is more common than RA. Indications for Remacade are the following:

REMICADE® is a prescription medication used to treat:

Crohn's Disease
Pediatric Crohn's Disease
Ulcerative Colitis
Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis
Rheumatoid Arthritis
