Preparation and Administration of CIMZIA
Using the Prefilled Syringe
Patients who are capable may self-inject CIMZIA using the prefilled
syringe after proper training in subcutaneous injection and if a physician
determines that it is appropriate. Patients who self-inject CIMZIA will
require medical follow up, as necessary.
Patients using CIMZIA should be instructed to inject the full amount in the
syringe, 200 mg (1 mL), according to the directions provided in the
for use in the medication guide.
Features of the CIMZIA prefilled syringe
UCB, the pharmaceutical maker of CIMZIA, partnered with OXO GOOD GRIPS to design a
syringe that would be easy to use. OXO GOOD GRIPS is the consumer products company
dedicated to providing innovative products that make everyday living easier.
The founder of OXO® was well aware of the problem some people have gripping and
using everyday items, because his wife had arthritis. Because of this,
he designed products that would be easier for all people to use. For OXO, this means
designing products for young and old, male and female, left- and right-handed people.
The design of the syringe was focused on making it easy to use.
