WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with postmarket use of TREMFYA^®. Some cases required hospitalization. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue TREMFYA^® and initiate appropriate therapy.

Infections
TREMFYA^® may increase the risk of infection. Treatment with TREMFYA^® should not be initiated in patients with a clinically important active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated.

Consider the risks and benefits of treatment prior to prescribing TREMFYA^® in patients with a chronic infection or a history of recurrent infection. Instruct patients receiving TREMFYA^® to seek medical help if signs or symptoms of clinically important chronic or acute infection occur. If a patient develops a clinically important or serious infection, or is not responding to standard therapy, closely monitor and discontinue TREMFYA^® until the infection resolves.

Pre-Treatment Evaluation for Tuberculosis (TB)
Evaluate patients for TB infection prior to initiating treatment with TREMFYA^®. Initiate treatment of latent TB prior to administering TREMFYA^®. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after TREMFYA^® treatment. Do not administer TREMFYA^® to patients with active TB infection.

Immunizations
Prior to initiating TREMFYA^®, consider completion of all age-appropriate immunizations according to current immunization guidelines. Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with TREMFYA^®.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
Most common (≥1%) adverse reactions associated with TREMFYA^® include upper respiratory infections, headache, injection site reactions, arthralgia, bronchitis, diarrhea, gastroenteritis, tinea infections, and herpes simplex infections.
