EntyvioConnect Support

EntyvioConnect is a patient support program created to help you at every step of your ENTYVIO journey—including keeping you on track with your infusion schedule. If you haven’t already, sign up for EntyvioConnect to receive resources and access to support from a Nurse Educator, who can discuss your treatment milestones with you.

Already on IV but interested in the ENTYVIO Pen?

If you’ve been receiving ENTYVIO through IV infusions but think the self-injection pen might be a better option for you, discuss with your healthcare provider if a transition is possible.

What are the differences?

Option 1:

IV Infusion

  • Administered in an office, at home, or infusion center
  • A healthcare provider monitors your treatment
  • Takes about 30 minutes
  • Given every 8 weeks

Option 2:

Self-administered injection

  • Offers flexibility in your treatment at home or on the go
  • Delivered to your home by a specialty pharmacy
  • Can be administered in several different areas on the body
  • Taken every 2 weeks

If you transition to the ENTYVIO Pen, there are plenty of resources available to help you feel more confident with self-‍administration. When you switch, your healthcare provider will teach you the proper steps for self-administration. You can also connect with a Nurse Educator to receive a self-injection training kit when you sign up for EntyvioConnect—which offers ongoing support throughout your treatment.
