Before your appointment, think about what you want to discuss with your doctor. Being prepared will help you have a more focused and productive discussion about your Crohn's symptoms and whether CIMZIA may be the right treatment for you. CIMZIA is used to lessen the signs and symptoms of moderately to severely active Crohn's disease in adults who have not been helped enough by usual treatments.
Some questions you might ask are:
- What is the goal of treating my Crohn's disease with CIMZIA?
- When taking CIMZIA, how soon until I feel an improvement in my symptoms?
- How long will my symptom relief last with CIMZIA?
- How is CIMZIA administered and how often do I take it?
- Will I have stinging and burning with CIMZIA injections?
- Does CIMZIA offer financial assistance?
- What are the possible side effects of CIMZIA?
Think about these and any other questions you may have, and bring the list in the Doctor Discussion Guide to your next appointment. Also, remember to take notes about your doctor's answers and recommendations. You'll be surprised how much more you get out of your discussion.
