- For ulcerative colitis, each infusion will last about 30 minutes.
- For Crohn’s disease, each infusion will last about 90 minutes.
- After your intravenous infusions, you will continue to receive OMVOH as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection) every 4 weeks as described below.
- See the detailed Instructions for Use that comes with OMVOH for information on how to prepare and inject a dose of OMVOH, and how to properly throw away (dispose of) used OMVOH prefilled pens or prefilled syringes.
- OMVOH comes as 2 different types of 1-time use devices:
- a prefilled pen,
- a prefilled syringe
- Your healthcare provider will decide which type of device is best for you.
- For ulcerative colitis, you will need to inject one 200 mg/2 mL prefilled pen or 200 mg/2mL (100 mg/mL) prefilled syringe, or two 100 mg/mL prefilled pens or prefilled syringes for your full dose.
- If 2 injections are required for your full dose, inject 1 OMVOH prefilled pen or prefilled syringe followed right away by the other OMVOH prefilled pen or prefilled syringe.
- For Crohn’s disease, you will need 2 injections either with 2 prefilled pens or 2 prefilled syringes for your full dose.
- You will need to inject one OMVOH 100 mg/mL prefilled pen or prefilled syringe and one 200 mg/2 mL prefilled pen or 200 mg/2 mL (100 mg/mL) prefilled syringe in any order.
- Injecting OMVOH under your skin:
- OMVOH is intended for use under the guidance and supervision of your healthcare provider. If your healthcare provider decides that you or a caregiver may give your injections of OMVOH at home, you should receive training on the correct way to prepare and inject OMVOH. Do not try to inject OMVOH yourself until you or your caregiver have been shown how to inject OMVOH.
- Inject OMVOH under the skin in your stomach area (abdomen), upper legs (thighs), or back of the upper arms.
- Do not give an injection in an area that is tender, bruised, red, or hard.
- Use a different injection site each time you use OMVOH.
- If you miss a dose of OMVOH, inject the missed dose as soon as possible. Then take your next dose in 4 weeks. If you have questions about how often you should use OMVOH, talk to your healthcare provider.
