Administration by a Healthcare Provider

If your CIMZIA prescription is not contained in a prefilled syringe, but rather is a lyophilized powder for reconstitution, CIMZIA should be prepared and injected by a healthcare provider. Each dose of CIMZIA will be given as 2 separate injections under the skin in your stomach area (abdomen) or upper leg (thigh).

Make sure to keep all of your injection and follow-up appointments with your doctor.

The recommended initial dose of CIMZIA for moderate to severe adult CD patients is 400 mg (given as 2 subcutaneous injections of 200 mg) initially and at Weeks 2 and 4. In patients who obtain a clinical response, the recommended maintenance regimen is 400 mg every 4 weeks.

Even when you're feeling better, it's important to take CIMZIA as your doctor has prescribed. Be sure to stay in touch with your doctor or nurse while you are on CIMZIA, to help you stay on track with your treatment.
