how long does entyvio infusion take
Entyvio is usually given on a schedule that starts the day of your first injection. Your next injections will be given at 2 weeks and 6 weeks after the first injection. Then you will receive an injection every 8 weeks (or every 2 months) thereafter. It may take up to several weeks before your symptoms improve.
Entyvio, unlike most of the biologic options, will require visits to the doctorâs office for 30 minute infusions. However, after the initial infusions, Entyvio will only be used once every 8 weeks, where most biologic treatment options are more frequent with once-weekly, every other week, or once-monthly dosing. Entyvio is a specialty medication, and must be infused over a period of 30 minutes at your doctorâs office.
