Your doctor will also give you a “Patient Information Leaflet”, which contains important safety information that you should know before you are administered Cimzia and during the treatment with this medicine. Carry this “Patient Information Leaflet” with you.

Cimzia contains the active ingredient certolizumab pegol, a human monoclonal antibody fragment. Antibodies are proteins that specifically recognize and bind to other proteins. Cimzia binds to a specific protein called tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα). In this way, the TNFα is blocked by Cimzia, which reduces inflammation in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and psoriasis. Medications that bind to TNFα are also called TNF inhibitors.

Cimzia is used in adults for the treatment of the following inflammatory diseases:

• Rheumatoid arthritis,
• Axial spondyloarthritis(including ankylosing spondylitis and axial spondyloarthritis without radiographic evidence of ankylosing spondylitis),
• Psoriatic arthritis
• Plaque psoriasis.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Cimzia is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease of the joints. If you have active moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, you may first receive other medications, usually methotrexate. If you do not respond well to these medications, you will be given Cimzia in combination with methotrexate to treat your rheumatoid arthritis. If your doctor determines that methotrexate is inappropriate, Cimzia may be administered alone.

Cimzia in combination with methotrexate may also be used to treat active, severe, and progressive rheumatoid arthritis without previously using methotrexate or other medication treatments.

Cimzia will be administered in combination with methotrexate, and is used for:

• Reducing the signs and symptoms of your disease,
• Decreasing the damage to the cartilage and bone of the joints caused by the disease,
• Improving your physical function and development of daily tasks.

Ankylosing Spondylitis and Axial Spondyloarthritis without Radiographic Evidence of Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Cimzia is used for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis and axial spondyloarthritis without radiographic evidence of ankylosing spondylitis (sometimes referred to as non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis). These diseases are inflammatory diseases of the spine. If you have ankylosing spondylitis or non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, you will first be treated with other medications. If you do not respond well to these medications, you will be given Cimzia to:

• Reduce the signs and symptoms of your disease,
• Improve your physical function and development of daily tasks.

Psoriatic Arthritis

Cimzia is used for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory disease of the joints, usually accompanied by psoriasis. If you have active psoriatic arthritis, you will first be given other medications, usually methotrexate. If you do not respond well to these medications, you will be given Cimzia in combination with methotrexate to:

• Reduce the signs and symptoms of your disease,
• Improve your physical function and development of daily tasks.

If your doctor determines that methotrexate is not the appropriate treatment, Cimzia may be administered alone.

Plaque Psoriasis

Cimzia is used for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis is an inflammatory disease of the skin, which may also affect the scalp and nails.

Cimzia is used to reduce the inflammation of the skin and other signs and symptoms of the disease.

Do not use Cimzia

• If you areALLERGIC(hypersensitive) to certolizumab pegol or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

Infections

• If you have hadRECURRENT OR OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONSor other conditions that increase the risk of infections (such as treatment with immunosuppressants, which can reduce your ability to fight infections).
• If you have any infection or develop symptoms such as fever, wounds, fatigue, or dental problems. While taking Cimzia, you may be more susceptible to infections, including severe ones, or in rare cases, life-threatening infections.
• Cases ofTUBERCULOSIS (TB)have been reported in patients taking Cimzia. Your doctor will examine you for signs or symptoms of tuberculosis before starting treatment with Cimzia. This will include a detailed medical history, chest X-ray, and tuberculin test. These tests should be noted on your "Patient Information Card". If you are diagnosed with latent tuberculosis (inactive), you may need to receive the appropriate tuberculosis medication before starting Cimzia. In rare cases, tuberculosis can develop during treatment, even if you have received preventive treatment for tuberculosis. It is essential to inform your doctor if you have had tuberculosis or have been in contact with a patient with tuberculosis. If you experience symptoms of tuberculosis (persistent cough, weight loss, general malaise, fever) or any other infection during or after treatment with Cimzia, contact your doctor immediately.
• If you are at risk of contractingHEPATITIS B VIRUS (HBV), if you are a carrier of HBV, or if you have an active HBV infection, Cimzia may increase the risk of HBV reactivation in individuals who are carriers of this virus. If this occurs, you should stop using Cimzia. Your doctor should perform HBV tests before starting treatment with Cimzia.

Heart failure

• If you haveHEART FAILURE, your doctor should closely monitor your heart failure. It is essential to inform your doctor if you have had or have severe heart problems. If you develop new symptoms of heart failure or worsening existing ones (e.g., difficulty breathing or swelling of the feet), contact your doctor immediately. Your doctor will decide whether to discontinue treatment with Cimzia.

Cancer

• Cases of certain types ofCANCERhave been observed in patients treated with Cimzia or other TNF blockers. Individuals with severe rheumatoid arthritis and a long history of the disease may have a higher risk of developing lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. If you are taking Cimzia, you may be at increased risk of developing lymphoma or other types of cancer. Rare cases of non-melanoma skin cancer have been reported in patients taking Cimzia. Inform your doctor if you develop new skin lesions or if existing lesions change in appearance during or after treatment with Cimzia. Cases of cancer, including rare types, have been reported in children and adolescents taking TNF blockers, which in some cases have been fatal (see "Use in children and adolescents" below).

Other diseases

• Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or heavy smokers may have a higher risk of developing cancer with Cimzia treatment. If you have COPD or smoke heavily, consult your doctor to determine if Cimzia treatment is suitable for you.
• If you have a neurological disease, such as multiple sclerosis, your doctor will decide whether to use Cimzia.
• In some patients, the body may be unable to produce enough blood cells that help the body fight infections or those that contribute to stopping bleeding.If you have persistent fever, petechiae, or easy bruising, or if you are extremely pale, contact your doctor immediately. Your doctor may decide to discontinue treatment with Cimzia.
• Rare cases of lupus symptoms (e.g., persistent rash, fever, joint pain, and fatigue) have been reported. Contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms. Your doctor may decide to discontinue treatment with Cimzia.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INJECTING CIMZIA WITH A PRE-FILLED PEN

After proper training, you can inject yourself or have someone else do it, for example, a family member or a friend. The following instructions explain how to use the pre-filled pen (AutoClicks) to inject Cimzia. Read them carefully and follow them step by step. Your doctor or another healthcare professional will teach you how to inject yourself. Do not attempt to inject yourself before you are sure you understand how to prepare and administer the injection.

Below is a diagram of a pre-filled pen AutoClicks.

1: Orange band

2: Viewfinder

3: Black grip

4: Transparent cap

1.Preparation

• Take the Cimzia pack out of the refrigerator.

-If the seal(s) is/are missing or broken – do not use it and contact your pharmacist.

• Remove the following items from the Cimzia pack and place them on a flat and clean surface:

• -One or two pre-filled pens AutoClicks, depending on your prescribed dose
• -One or two alcohol wipes

• Check the expiration date of the pre-filled pen and the pack. Do not use Cimzia after the expiration date that appears on the pack after CAD and on the pre-filled pen after EXP. The expiration date is the last day of the month indicated.
• Leave the pre-filled pen AutoClicks to reach room temperature. This will take30to45minutes. This will help reduce any discomfort during the injection.

-Do not heat the pre-filled pen – let it warm up on its own.

-Do not remove the cap until you are ready to inject.

• Wash your hands thoroughly.

2.Choosing and preparing the injection site

• Choose an area on your thigh or abdomen.

• Carefully select a new injection site each time, away from the site of the previous injection.

• -Never inject into an area where the skin is red, bruised, or hardened.
• -Clean the injection site with the alcohol wipe provided, following a circular motion from the inside out.
• -Do not touch this area again before the injection.

3.Injection

• The pre-filled pen AutoClicks is designed to work precisely and safely. However, if any of the following steps go wrong or if you feel unsure about the injection process, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
• Do not shake the pre-filled pen.

Check the medicine through the viewfinder.

-Do not use this medicine if the solution is discoloured, cloudy, or if you can see particles in it.

-You may see air bubbles – this is normal. Injecting a solution containing air bubbles subcutaneously is harmless.

• Hold the pre-filled pen firmly with one hand around the black grip.
• Take the transparent cap with the other hand and pull it straight off. Do not twist the cap when removing it, as this may jam the internal mechanism.

• Inject within5minutes of removing the cap.Do not replace the cap.
• Although hidden from view, the needle is now exposed. Do not touch the needle as this may activate the pre-filled pen. Hold the pre-filled pen directly against the skin (at an angle of90º) that has been cleaned (“injection site”).

• Press the pre-filled pen firmly against the skin. The injection starts when you hear the first “click” and the orange band disappears from the bottom of the pre-filled pen.

• Continue holding the pre-filled pen firmly in place against the skin until you hear a second “click” and the viewfinder turns orange. This may take15seconds. At this point, the injection will be complete. If the viewfinder turns orange and you hear the second click, this means the injection is complete. If you feel unsure about the injection process, contact your doctor or pharmacist. Do not attempt to repeat the injection process without consulting your doctor or pharmacist.

• The needle will automatically move back into the pre-filled pen. Do not touch the needle.
• Now you can remove the pre-filled pen by pulling it straight off the skin.
• Using a small piece of cotton, press over the injection site for a few seconds.

-Do not rub the injection site.

-You may cover the injection site with a plaster if necessary.

4.After use

• Do not reuse the pre-filled pen. Do not replace the cap.

• After the injection, dispose of the used pre-filled pen immediately in a special container as explained by your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.

• Keep the container out of sight and reach of children.
• If you need to administer a second injection as prescribed by your doctor, repeat the injection process starting from step2.
