Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Hair fall can occur with any type of medication and remicade is no exception to it. It's called telogen effluvium which occurs due to alteration of the normal hair cycle and generally is reversible after stopping of treatment. You can take multivitamin supplement and biotin for hair health if you are bothered by drug related hair fall.
Let me know if you have any other question.
