Yes, you need to see a biologics nurse to be shown how to inject, how it's stored & such. I hope it helps.

Hi IV been on benepalli for a few months now if your new to it you normally see the nurse a few times she is the one that you will see more with your benepalli your consultant is there if you have any problems what arthritis have you got if you don't mind me asking I've got psoriatic arthritis xx

Yes, the Rumy nurse will give you instructions usually with a dummy pen, very easy and people have different preferences where they will inject, I personally prefer upper thigh but it is up to the individual, nothing to fear as it is very simple. All The Best

Hi Deejojo yes this is normal as I have mine tomorrow morning to discuss to have the same injection unless she decides different. Best of luck on Friday.

Also You may see the nurse regularly in between you consultant appointments. They have a role in monitoring the drugs effectiveness, it's a very expensive drug hence the monitoring. If it is longer effective then your prescription for it will stop.
