So I've always been curious about this. I work in the hospital in the float pool and sometimes I get floated to the oncology floor. I take cimzia a biologic Ned that suppresses your immune system and maybe thinking of switching back to remicaide or 6mp I know 6mp is classified as an oral chemo and remicaide is also classified as a chemo drug I don't know about cimzia but being on these drugs is it still safe for me to care for a patient on nutrapenic precautions? The nurses I asked didn't really know and I'm more worried about the patients safety for having an imminosupressed care giver taking care of them
