Taking BENLYSTA as prescribed can be key to seeing improvements in your lupus. Whether you’re receiving intravenous (IV) infusions from your doctor every 4 weeks, or self-injecting BENLYSTA subcutaneously (SC) once a week, discover how to make taking BENLYSTA a regular part of your routine.
Staying on track with BENLYSTA can be very important, so that you experience the full benefit of the treatment you and your doctor decided would be best for you.
Be sure to continue taking BENLYSTA as prescribed, even if you’re feeling better. If you aren’t feeling better right away, talk to your doctor about how BENLYSTA takes time to work in your body. Always talk to your doctor for more information, answers, and guidance.
When you’re trying to remember to do something regularly, it can help to add it to a routine you already do. This can make it easier to remember.
For example, if you self-inject BENLYSTA once a week, you might think that you don’t need to build it into a routine. But it can actually be hard to remember things that only happen weekly.
To help make your injection of BENLYSTA harder to forget, pair it with an activity you already do regularly, such as:
If you do laundry every Saturday morning, pair that activity with your weekly injection of BENLYSTA. So after you start a load of laundry, take your injection of BENLYSTA. Before you know it, you’ll be making BENLYSTA a regular part of your weekly routine!
If you’re having trouble remembering to self-inject BENLYSTA, you might want to talk to your doctor about receiving IV infusions every 4 weeks instead.
