Potential risk with Remicade?

Hey all

I am finally about to start Remicade treatment for pouchitis. I see people on the forum saying they have "bad reactions" to it - what exactly can that be?

First infusion will be on Monday and then Monday two weeks later. My worry is that I am going on two different trips on both Tuesdays following my infusions... what's the worst that can happen in terms of risks with Remicade?

Bonus question: I forgot to ask the GE if I have to quit Ciprofloxacin. Can I use antibiotics while on Remicade?
