RAPID RELIEF

The majority of patients who were treated with STELARA® and were new to or had not failed a biologic saw relief from their Crohn’s disease symptoms in as little as 6 weeks, with noticeable improvement in as little as 3 weeks* for some.

*Symptom improvement was measured differently at weeks 3 and 6.

Lasting remission icon

LASTING REMISSION

The majority of patients were in remission at 1 year after responding to the one‑time intravenous (IV) infusion dose and continuing on STELARA® treatment.

Clinical trials of STELARA® included patients who failed or were intolerant to other medications, including a biologic, prior to STELARA®. Individual results may vary. STELARA® is not for everyone. Only you and your doctor can decide if STELARA® is right for you.

STELARA® RESULTS

STELARA® results from week 0 to year 5

After 1 year, patients and healthcare providers knew that STELARA® was being used. This may have increased results. Individual results may vary. STELARA® is not for everyone. Only you and your doctor can decide if STELARA® is right for you.

LEARN ABOUT DOSING WITH STELARA®

IV infusion icon

Start with an IV infusion
ONE TIME

STELARA® treatment starts with a one-time IV infusion through a vein in your arm that provides the amount of medication based on your body weight and is administered by a medical professional in a comfortable setting. It takes at least 1 hour to receive the full dose of medicine.

Injection icon

Keep going with maintenance injections EVERY 2 MONTHS

After the one-time IV infusion, you will receive STELARA® as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection) every 8 weeks.

STELARA® is intended for use under the guidance and supervision of your doctor. If your doctor decides that you or a caregiver may give your injections of STELARA® at home, you should receive training on the right way to prepare and inject STELARA®.

MEET 2 STELARA® CROHN’S DISEASE PATIENTS

What is STELARA® and how does it work?

  • STELARA® is a prescription biologic medicine
  • Many biologics are made from proteins, genes, or antibodies
  • Some biologics target enzymes or proteins that may cause inflammation—like the inflammation thought to cause Crohn’s disease symptoms

STELARA® works differently

There are many different naturally occurring proteins in the body that contribute to inflammation. Patients with Crohn’s disease are found to have elevated levels of two of these proteins, IL-12 and IL-23.

STELARA® is the only FDA-approved medicine that targets IL-12 and IL-23, which are thought to be associated with gastrointestinal inflammation in Crohn’s disease.

STELARA® SAFETY

Ask your doctor about the benefits and risks of STELARA®. Prescription medications, including STELARA®, have possible risks involved with treatment, so it’s important to discuss them with your doctor.

STELARA® is not for everyone; only your doctor can decide if it's right for you. STELARA® is a prescription medicine that affects your immune system. It can increase your chance of having serious side effects including serious infections, cancer, serious allergic reactions, lung inflammation, and a rare condition called posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.

These are not all the possible side effects of STELARA®.

Please read the Important Safety Information located at the bottom of the screen and the Medication Guide for STELARA® to learn more about these and other risks for STELARA®. Discuss any questions you have with your doctor.

In clinical studies, the most common side effects were:

  • nasal congestion, sore throat, and runny nose
  • upper respiratory infections
  • fever
  • headache
  • tiredness
  • itching
  • nausea and vomiting
  • redness at the injection site
  • vaginal yeast infections
  • urinary tract infections
  • sinus infection
  • bronchitis
  • diarrhea
  • stomach pain
  • joint pain

These are not all of the possible side effects of STELARA®. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.

You should not receive a live vaccine while taking STELARA®. Before receiving STELARA®, tell your doctor if you have recently received or are scheduled to receive an immunization (vaccine). Tell your doctor if anyone in your house needs a vaccine. The viruses used in some types of vaccines can spread to people with a weakened immune system, and can cause serious problems. You should not receive the BCG vaccine during the one year before taking STELARA® or one year after you stop taking STELARA®.
