Using Your OXO GOOD GRIPS^®
Prefilled Syringe

Patients who are capable of self-injection also have the option of administering CIMZIA at home using the prefilled syringe. Do not give yourself a CIMZIA injection unless you have been shown how by your doctor or nurse, they can also train someone you know to help you with your injections. Watch the following video or read the instructions below to learn the steps you need to follow to inject CIMZIA.

What do I need to do to prepare and give an injection of CIMZIA?

Do not use the CIMZIA prefilled syringe if:

• Any name other than “CIMZIA” is on the package and prefilled syringe label
• The expiration date on the container has passed
• The packaging is torn or if the tamper evident seals are missing or broken on the top and bottom of the carton when you receive it. If this is the case, contact your pharmacist
• The prefilled syringe is frozen or has been left in direct sunlight
• The medicine in the prefilled syringe is not clear to pale yellow, or has large, colored particles in it

Preparing to use the CIMZIA prefilled syringe

Each CIMZIA prefilled syringe package comes with these items in a tray:

• 2 glass prefilled syringes of CIMZIA. Each has a fixed needle
• 2 alcohol swabs

For each injection you will use:

• 1 prefilled syringe of CIMZIA with needle
• 1 alcohol swab

For each injection you will also need:

• 1 clean cotton ball or gauze pads. These are not included in CIMZIA prefilled syringe package
• A puncture-proof container for disposing of used needles and syringes. (See the section entitled “How to Dispose of Needles and Syringes”)

If you do not have all the supplies you need, talk to your pharmacist.

• Each prefilled syringe contains the right dose of medicine for one injection (200 mg)
• Depending on the amount of CIMZIA prescribed by your doctor, you may need to take more than one injection
• If you are prescribed to take 400 mg of CIMZIA, you will need to take two injections. You will need to use two CIMZIA prefilled syringes
• CIMZIA may be injected into your abdomen or thigh area. If you are prescribed to take more than one injection, each injection should be given at a different injection site, in your abdomen and thigh

1. Take either one or two CIMZIA prefilled syringes and alcohol swabs out of the refrigerator for injection, depending on your prescribed dose. If there is still a prefilled syringe in the carton, put it back in the refrigerator right away. If both prefilled syringes are used, throw away the empty carton after you finish your injection.
2. Let the medicine in the syringe come to room temperature before injection. This will take about 30 minutes.
