The SmartJect pen and syringe both have a very thin, short needle that injects just below the skin surface to help keep pain to a minimum. SIMPONI has been specially formulated to reduce the likelihood of feeling any pain.

SIMPONI must not be taken in combination with medicines containing anakinra or abatacept. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about any other medicines you are taking. You should also notify them if you have recently had, or are due to have, a vaccine.

The SmartJect pen and pre-filled syringe contain latex – talk to your doctor before taking SIMPONI if you have a latex allergy.

SIMPONI contains sorbitol (E420). If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking SIMPONI.

The fridge is the best place to keep SIMPONI. But for times when you need a little extra flexibility, it’s also safe to store it at room temperature (below 25°C) for a single period of up to 30 days*. That means you have the freedom to take SIMPONI along wherever life takes you. Once you take SIMPONI out of the fridge, make sure you write a new expiry date (30 days’ time) on the carton so you know how long you can keep it for.

*Do NOT return SIMPONI to the fridge if it has reached room temperature. DISCARD your SIMPONI if not used by the NEW expiry date you have written on the carton, or the original one printed on the carton – whichever is the earlier.
