What counts as a maintenance dose for Simponi

Simponi (golimumab) maintenance uses 50 mg injected under the skin once a month. A single 50 mg injection therefore constitutes the full maintenance dose.

How many injections per month does that erfordern

One injection of 50 mg is required each month. No multiple shots are needed to reach the dose.

When does the maintenance phase begin

After three once-weekly 50 mg induction doses given at weeks 0, 2, and 6, the schedule shifts to monthly 50 mg injections.

What happens if a dose is missed

Take the next scheduled dose as soon as you remember and then resume the monthly calendar. If you fully missed one or two months, consult your doctor rather than double up.

How does this schedule compare with Simponi Aria

Simponi Aria is given intravenously every eight weeks after two initial loading doses. Intravenous doses are 2 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, and then 2 mg/kg at time 0, 2, and 4 weeks, then every 8 weeks. The subcutaneous version keeps the 50 mg monthly pattern.

Who makes Simponi

Janssen Biotech manufactures Simponi.
