If your doctor decides that you or your caregiver can give your injections at home, you will need to be trained on the proper way to self-inject SIMPONI® directly under the skin. Once you've learned how to self-inject, you can do it at home without visiting the doctor's office.

The flexibility to choose
SIMPONI® offers 2 easy-to-use injection options:

Auto Inject Image

SmartJect® autoinjector: Specially designed with patients in mind

The SmartJect® autoinjector is specially designed to help you self-inject—without ever having to see the needle. The SmartJect® autoinjector has an easy-to-grip, oval-shaped body and a button on the side that takes only a simple squeeze to inject SIMPONI® under the skin.

Other built-in features include:

  • A thin needle that remains hidden throughout the injection process
  • A safety sleeve that has to be pressed firmly against the skin for the medicine to inject
  • A yellow indicator that appears in the viewing window when you have finished injecting to let you know the autoinjector has worked properly

Once your doctor determines that you can self-inject using the SmartJect® autoinjector, you can take your SIMPONI® medication at home without having to travel to your doctor's office for your injection.

The SIMPONI® prefilled syringe

For those who prefer a prefilled syringe, SIMPONI® offers that choice, too. As with the SmartJect® autoinjector, you must learn to use it in your doctor's office and be taught by your doctor or another member of your healthcare team. The prefilled syringe, just like the SmartJect® autoinjector, provides the convenience of injecting on your own, in the comfort and privacy of your home.

 

Please refer to the Medication Guide and Instructions for Use, included with your SIMPONI® medication, for more information on injecting with SIMPONI®.

SIMPONI® is intended for use under the guidance and supervision of a physician.
