Step 2: Inject

Using a sterile 1-mL syringe and 18-gauge x 2” needle, carefully withdraw the required volume depending on the dose to be administered and subcutaneously inject using a 27-gauge x 0.5” needle. 


Avoid injection into scar tissue as this may result in insufficient exposure to ILARIS.


Discard unused product or waste material in accordance with the local requirements.
