CIMZIA is used to lessen signs and symptoms of moderate to severe Crohn's disease
in adults not helped enough by usual treatments.
Are you ready to take control of your Crohn's? Have other therapies failed to give
you the relief you are looking for? Then it may be time to talk to your doctor about
whether CIMZIA may be a good choice for providing lasting Crohn's symptom relief.
In clinical trials; CIMZIA was shown to reduce or help stop many moderate to severe
Crohn's disease symptoms, such as stomach pain and diarrhea, and to improve general well-being
within a few short weeks for some patients. The majority of the patients who continued
to take CIMZIA experienced sustained relief beyond the 4 years with no increase
in dose.
You may find that your experience with CIMZIA is similar to that of people in clinical
trials; however individual results may vary.
CIMZIA offers flexible administration
You have options for how you take CIMZIA. You and your doctor will decide which
option is best for you. CIMZIA is taken by injection (shot) just below the skin.
CIMZIA comes in 2 forms. One is a powder that is mixed with sterile water by the
physician or healthcare provider just before being injected. This form should only
be given by a healthcare provider. The other form is the CIMZIA prefilled syringe,
which is already mixed and ready to inject.
CIMZIA has a low rate of injection site reactions
In clinical trials, patients reported low injection site burning or stinging (less
than 2%). Allergic reactions were rare in patients taking CIMZIA in clinical trials.
Anaphylaxis or serious allergic reactions may occur. Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported rarely following CIMZIA administration.

Serious infections have happened in patients taking CIMZIA, including tuberculosis
(TB) and infections caused by viruses, fungi, or bacteria that have spread throughout
the body. Some patients have died from these infections. Please read the CIMZIA Important Safety Information for additional information on CIMZIA and discuss it with your doctor.
