WHAT TO EXPECT FROM
YOUR INJECTION
EXPERIENCE WITH SIMPONI®

SIMPONI® Dosing: Just One Injection, Once a Month

SIMPONI® requires fewer injections under the skin than the selected anti-TNF biologic medicines in moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA), active psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and active ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Keep in mind that, as shown below, while how often you take a medicine matters, there are other important factors to consider. Talk to your doctor about treatment options and what might be right for you.
