Administration Information

What’s it like to have an intravenous infusion?

Your healthcare provider will administer ENTYVIO through a needle placed in a vein (IV infusion) in your arm, either at their office, at an infusion center, or in your home. Infusions last approximately 30 minutes. During and after the infusion, your healthcare provider will monitor you for side effects to see if you have a reaction to the treatment.

Here’s how it works
