ENSPRYNG (satralizumab-mwge) is intended for patient self-administration by subcutaneous injection under the guidance of a healthcare provider. After proper training in subcutaneous injection technique, a patient or their caregiver may administer ENSPRYNG if it’s determined to be appropriate.
At initiation, a loading dose of ENSPRYNG 120 mg is administered by subcutaneous injection every other week for a total of 3 injections. Maintenance doses are administered thereafter at an interval of once every 4 weeks.
Storage and handling1
ENSPRYNG is stable at room temperature for 8 days.
Use with concurrent medications1
ENSPRYNG may be used as monotherapy or with the immunosuppressive therapies (ISTs) azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, or oral corticosteroids.
Active infection1
Advise patients to consult with their healthcare provider if they suspect an active infection. In case of active infection, delay use of ENSPRYNG until the infection is resolved.
Missed doses1
If a dose is missed for any reason other than liver enzymes, administer as soon as possible and do not wait until the next dose, provided it has been no longer than 8 weeks since the last dose was administered.
