Is simponi once a month?

How often is Simponi administered?

Simponi, a biological medication, is typically administered via intravenous infusion every 2 weeks. However, it's also available as a prefilled syringe for self-administration. The once-a-month administration schedule is actually for the injectable formulation of Simponi, which has a longer duration of action than the IV formulation [1].

What's the difference between IV and injectable Simponi?

IV Simponi has a shorter duration of action, requiring more frequent injections (every 2 weeks) to maintain therapeutic levels [2]. On the other hand, injectable Simponi has a longer duration of action, allowing for administration every 4 weeks (monthly) [3].

Who uses injectable Simponi?

Injectable Simponi is suitable for patients who prefer the comfort of self-administering injections or for those who have difficulty accessing healthcare services for frequent IV infusions [4].
