Before injection, remove TREMFYA prefilled syringe or One-Press injector from the refrigerator and allow TREMFYA to reach room temperature (30 minutes) without removing the needle cap.
Inspect TREMFYA visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration. TREMFYA is a clear and colorless to light yellow solution that may contain small translucent particles. Do not use if the liquid contains large particles, is discolored or cloudy. TREMFYA does not contain preservatives; therefore, discard any unused product remaining in the prefilled syringe or One-Press injector.
