Is simponi given monthly?

Is Simponi (golimumab) given every month?

Yes. Simponi is typically dosed once every month (every 4 weeks) after the initial loading period, depending on the condition being treated. [1]

Does the dosing frequency change after the first dose?

For some indications, there is an initial “start” period, but the maintenance schedule still continues on a monthly (every 4 weeks) basis. [1]

Is monthly dosing the same for all forms of Simponi?

Simponi can be given as either a subcutaneous injection (often the self-administered pen/syringe) or as an infusion in certain cases. The most common maintenance schedule for the subcutaneous regimen is once monthly (every 4 weeks). [1]

What should patients confirm before scheduling injections?

Patients should confirm their exact schedule with their prescriber and the medication instructions, since dosing intervals can vary by diagnosis and product labeling (and clinicians may adjust based on response or safety).
