Crohn's drugs

There is a new drug being trialled in Australia for the treatment of Crohn's. However, it is currently not on the PBS, which means it is VERY expensive to administer and can only be administerd (intravenously) at a public hospital as part of the trials.
If you are interested in helping to get the drug onto the PBS, please complete the petition on the Infliximab website:

there is also some wonderful information on the Crohn's website you may like to read at your leisure:
www.acca.net.au

Thanks for your support.
