Authors' recommendations:
There is no significant difference in the efficacy and safety figures of the TNF-alfa inhibitors identified at the use of 3mg/kg Remicade (infliximab) and the regular use of Humira (adalimumab) and Enbrel (etanercept). Under the given price structure and financing mechanisms the price of the infliximab is the lowest among the TNF-alfa inhibitors covered by the National Health Insurance Fund Administration budget, while at the same time no significant difference in health gain of these three TNF-alfa inhibitors can be seen. However Remicade could show a higher respond rate at the increased dose setting.
