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 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.
