Enspryng Dosage/Direction for Use

This medicine should always be taken exactly as prescribed.
How much Enspryng to use: Each injection contains 120 mg of satralizumab. Patients must be advised that the first injection will be given under the supervision of the doctor or nurse.
The first three injections are given once every 2 weeks. These are called 'loading doses'.
After this, the injection is given every 4 weeks. This is called the 'maintenance dose'. The injections should be continued once every 4 weeks for as long as instructed/prescribed.
How to use Enspryng: Enspryng is given by injection under the skin (sub-cutaneously).
The entire content of the syringe should be injected each time.
At the start, Enspryng may be injected by a doctor or a nurse. However, it may be decided that the patient or an adult caregiver can inject Enspryng.
The patient or the caregiver must be advised regarding the training on how to inject Enspryng and questions about giving injections.
Read carefully and follow Instructions for use under Patient Counselling Information on how to inject Enspryng.
Forgotten administration of Enspryng: For the treatment to be fully effective, it is very important to keep having the injections.
If the doctor or nurse is giving the injections and the patient misses an appointment, the patient must be advised to make another one straight away.
If the patient is injecting Enspryng himself/herself and misses an injection, Enspryng should be injected as soon as possible. Advise the patient not to wait until the next planned dose. After having the injection for the missed dose, the next injection should be either: for loading doses - 2 weeks later; for maintenance doses - 4 weeks later.
Stopping administration of Enspryng: Enspryng should not be suddenly stopped unless advised/instructed.
