- The typical dose of SILIQ starts out with three starter doses at weeks 0, 1, and 2, and then you’ll take it every 2 weeks. SILIQ comes in a single-dose prefilled syringe that contains 210 mg (1.5 mL) of medication

SILIQ Serious Side Effects

Effects of other drugs, drug classes and over-the-counter products on SILIQ
The following medications may interact with SILIQ:
- Live Vaccinations: Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with SILIQ
- CYP450 Substrates: The formation of CYP450 enzymes can be altered by increased levels of certain cytokines (e.g., IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, TNFα, IFN) during chronic inflammation. Treatment with SILIQ may modulate serum levels of some cytokines
- Therefore, upon initiation or discontinuation of SILIQ in patients who are receiving concomitant drugs which are CYP450 substrates, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic index, consider monitoring for effect (e.g., for warfarin) or drug concentration (e.g., for cyclosporine) and consider dosage modification of the CYP450 substrate
