30-MINUTE INFUSION? LEARN MORE, RIGHT THIS WAY.
SIMPONI ARIA® (golimumab) is a biologic treatment given by intravenous infusion, also known as an IV. Your treatment starts with a 30-minute infusion, followed by a second 30-minute infusion 4 weeks later. Then you’ll receive your infusions every 8 weeks—that’s as few as 6 times a year. The infusion is given through a needle placed in your vein, usually in your arm.
