A prescription is required. Your prescriber decides whether Entyvio is right for you.

IV infusion, given by a healthcare professional. When your prescriber agrees it can be given at home, we send a skilled nurse from an accredited nursing agency to give it.

Injection under the skin, given by you or a caregiver, after training. A nurse can show you or a caregiver how to give it.

Storage: Keep the prefilled pen or syringe in the refrigerator in its original package to protect it from light; do not freeze or shake it. If needed, it can stay out at room temperature (up to 77°F) for up to 7 days.

Before the first dose, your prescriber may ask for:

• a check for tuberculosis (TB), if your doctor thinks it is needed
• bringing all your vaccines up to date
