Can one get Kybella if undergoing Remicade treatments?

Question

Hello! Im getting Remicade every six week. Will this interact with Kybella? Paul

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This shouldn't be an issue however, I recommend consulting with a board certified physician in order to take all of your medical history/information into account. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. I would recommend checking with your prescribing physician, for this medication, prior to receiving any Kybella injections. Best of luck to you.

While it is unlikely that you would have any issues with doing Kybella and Remicade, it may depend in part on whether you are being treated with Remicade for Gastrointestinal or Rheumatologic issues (as there are some skin co-morbidities with some Gastrointestinal diagnoses.) Having said that, you should speak directly with your treating physician before undergoing any cosmetic procedure involving additional medications. If you are permitted to pursue Kybella, you may want to consider having it done at the midpoint between your Remicade treatments, at the 3rd or 4th week post injection, but you should discuss this with your physician so they can work with you and assist with any concerns. Remember  that it is typical for most people to require more than one treatment with Kybella for results. It is important to note that this online forum is not the place to make decisions about your medical care and you should always seek the advice of your treating physician.Best wishes,Pamela Stuart, MD
