Treatment with Entyvio is broken into two parts. The first three starting doses are given during the induction phase, which lasts a total of six weeks. During this phase, the second dose is given two weeks after the first dose. The third dose is given four weeks after the second dose.
Although symptoms may begin to improve right away after the first infusion, it may take the full six-week period to get symptoms under control.
The maintenance phase follows the induction phase. During the maintenance phase, doses are given every eight weeks to keep symptoms under control.
