In this review we aim to discuss some of the safety concerns related to the use of immunosuppressive drugs used in inflammatory bowel disease, as well as the possible strategy for de-escalation or discontinuation therapy. Eventually, choosing to stop either the anti-TNF or the immunomodulator is a case-by-case decision based on the estimated risk–benefit ratio. In addition to the identified predictors of relapse after therapy discontinuation, other considerations such as long-term safety, cost, and natural history of the disease must be brought into this discussion.
