SIMPONI (golimumab) Injection is a preservative-free, sterile, clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to light yellow solution for subcutaneous use in a single-dose prefilled autoinjector (contains a prefilled glass syringe) or single-dose prefilled glass syringe. The Type 1 glass syringe has a coated stopper. The fixed stainless steel needle (5 bevel, 27G, ½ inch) is covered with a needle shield to prevent leakage of the solution through the needle and to protect the needle during handling prior to subcutaneous administration. The needle shield is made of a dry natural rubber containing latex. Storage and Handling Refrigerate SIMPONI at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C) in the original carton to protect from light until the time of use. Do not freeze. Do not shake. Do not use SIMPONI beyond the expiration date (EXP) on the carton or the expiration date on the prefilled syringe (observed through the viewing window) or the prefilled SmartJect autoinjector. If needed, SIMPONI may be stored at room temperature up to 77°F (25°C) for a maximum single period of 30 days in the original carton to protect from light. Once a syringe or autoinjector has been stored at room temperature, do not return the product to the refrigerator. If not used within 30 days at room temperature, discard SIMPONI.

Revised: May 2018 MEDICATION GUIDE SIMPONI ®(SIM-po-nee) (golimumab) injection, for subcutaneous use What is the most important information I should know about SIMPONI? SIMPONI is a medicine that affects your immune system. SIMPONI can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections. Some people have serious infections while taking SIMPONI, including tuberculosis (TB), and infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses that spread throughout their body. Some people have died from these serious infections. • Your doctor should test you for TB and hepatitis B before starting SIMPONI. • Your doctor should monitor you closely for signs and symptoms of TB during treatment with SIMPONI. You should not start taking SIMPONI if you have any kind of infection unless your doctor says it is okay. Before starting SIMPONI, tell your doctor if you: • think you have an infection or have symptoms of an infection such as: • fever, sweat, or chills • muscle aches • cough • shortness of breath • blood in phlegm • weight loss • warm, red, or painful skin or sores on your body • diarrhea or stomach pain • burning when you urinate or urinate more often than normal • feel very tired • are being treated for an infection. • get a lot of infections or have infections that keep coming back. • have diabetes, HIV, or a weak immune system. People with these conditions have a higher chance for infections. • have TB, or have been in close contact with someone with TB. • live, have lived, or traveled to certain parts of the country (such as the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys and the Southwest) where there is an increased chance for getting certain kinds of fungal infections (histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis). These infections may happen or become more severe if you use SIMPONI. Ask your doctor if you do not know if you have lived in an area where these infections Les hele dokumentet
