In a clinical study in Black patients with lupus, a reduction in disease activity was seen but was not statistically significant. Ask your doctor about BENLYSTA.
Whether you have lupus or active lupus nephritis, with BENLYSTA you have a choice.
There are two ways to take BENLYSTA:
- Self-injection at home: for adults with lupus and/or lupus nephritis
- Intravenous infusion administered by a healthcare provider: for adults with lupus and/or lupus nephritis and for children with lupus (aged 5-17 years)
Ask your doctor which BENLYSTA option is right for you.

Intravenous (IV) Use (BENLYSTA Infusion)
In-office administration
When beginning treatment with BENLYSTA IV, it is recommended that you receive infusions from a healthcare provider every 2 weeks for the first 3 doses, and every 4 weeks thereafter. Infusions are usually given at a doctor’s office or an infusion center.
Did you know? In a small survey with adult patients with lupus who switched from receiving BENLYSTA via IV infusion to the BENLYSTA autoinjector, 3 out of 4 preferred the autoinjector. Your experience may be different.
