Hello,
* Sorry to say but there is no cheaper alternative for Remicade (a monoclonal antibody ) to treat Crohn`s disease in India.
* You have to manage advance extra doses of the drug with you from the US itself before arriving India.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
