VIDEO: We see the patient comfortably seated on a couch in their living room. Patient looks into camera and introduces himself.
SUPER: MAYA
AUDIO: Hey there! I’m Maya and I’m here to walk you through how to inject yourself with SKYRIZI. Now, if it’s your first time, don’t worry! If it’s not your first time, I hope you pick up some new tips while you’re here.
VIDEO: Patient speaks to camera, points to “Bryan (Nurse Ambassador)” contact on phone.
SUPER:
Don’t have a Nurse Ambassador?*
Call 1.866.SKYRIZI or visit www.SKYRIZI.com
Nurse Ambassadors are provided by AbbVie and do not work under the direction of your health care professional (HCP) or give medical advice. They are trained to direct patients to their HCP for treatment-related advice, including further referrals.
AUDIO: Now, I’ve done this a few times by myself, but my doctor originally walked me through how to inject, and I called Bryan, who’s my Nurse Ambassador, when I first started injecting on my own at home.
VIDEO: Patient stands and walks out of frame. (TITLE CARD: “INJECTION PREP”)
VIDEO: Patient walks to fridge, pulls out SKYRIZI package, shows to camera, places on counter. SUPERs rotate through on screen.
SUPER: Do not warm SKYRIZI in any other way (for example, do not warm it in the microwave or in hot water).
Do not use SKYRIZI if liquid has been frozen even if it has been thawed.
15 to 30 minutes
Keep SKYRIZI in the original carton to protect from light until time to use.
AUDIO: Alright, let’s get started. So, when my SKYRIZI comes in the mail, it goes straight in the fridge. Now, before I inject, I let it sit out for 15 to 30 minutes, out of direct sunlight, to get to room temperature. And while I wait, I try to relax.
VIDEO: Patient sits down on couch with items needed on the table in front of her, SUPERs rotate through on screen. Supply names animate on screen next to each item, as she speaks their names.
SUPER:
Do not shake SKYRIZI
Do not use SKYRIZI if the syringe has been dropped or damaged.
Do not use SKYRIZI if package perforations are broken. Return product to the pharmacy.
Do not remove the needle cover until right before injection.
Do not use SKYRIZI if expiration date (EXP) has passed.
SKYRIZI syringe, alcohol swab, Instructions for Use, cotton ball, sharps container
AUDIO: Okay, that should be enough time. So, once my hands are clean, I like to put out everything that I’ll need. So, I have my SKYRIZI syringe. I have an alcohol swab, which I got from my local pharmacy. I also have the Instructions for Use, just in case. And I also like to grab a cotton ball (I had some right in my medicine cabinet) and then a sharps container. Now, I like this spot because there’s a lot of space and I don’t have to leave my couch.
VIDEO: N/A (TITLE CARD: “HOW TO INJECT step-by-step”)
VIDEO: Patient points to 4 Ps graphic on package.
AUDIO: So, it helps me to break down the injection process into 4 simple steps: the 4 Ps. You can see them here on the package. We have: pick, prepare, pinch, push. Okay?
SUPER: PICK the injection site
AUDIO: So, first I pick my injection site. So, I’ll go with my left thigh. But, you can also pick your right thigh or your lower stomach.
ANIMATION: 2 inches graphic animates.
SUPER: 2 INCHES
AUDIO: But, if you choose your stomach, make sure to inject at least 2 inches away from your belly button. Okay?
VIDEO: Patient demonstrates step.
AUDIO: So, you want to grab your alcohol swab to clean your skin in a circular motion, like this, and let it dry.
VIDEO: Patient holds syringe with needle pointing down, removes cap to check liquid, shows to camera. SUPERs rotate through on screen.
SUPER:
Do not touch or blow on the injection site after it is cleaned. Allow the skin to dry before injecting.
Do not inject through clothes.
Do not inject into skin that is sore, bruised, red, hard, scarred, has stretch marks, or areas with psoriasis.
Do not use if the liquid is cloudy or contains flakes or large particles.
AUDIO: Now, I hold my syringe with the needle facing down, and I check the liquid inside to make sure that everything looks okay. It should be clear to slightly yellow, which it is. See that? There are a few bubbles in there, but that’s normal. Looks like we’re good to go!
VIDEO: Patient removes the needle cover by holding the syringe in one hand and gently pulling the needle cover straight off with the other hand.
SUPER:
PREPARE the syringe
Do not hold or pull plunger when removing the needle cover.
Do not touch the needle with your fingers or let the needle touch anything.
AUDIO: Alright, so I hold my syringe in one hand, and I take the needle cover off with the other hand, okay? Like this, and then you want to throw it away. You see? You may see a drop of liquid at the end of the needle, which is normal, okay?
VIDEO: Patient demonstrates steps.
SUPER:
PINCH the skin
AUDIO: So, I’ve got my syringe in one hand, and with the other hand, I’m gently pinching the area of my cleaned skin to hold firmly.
VIDEO: Patient demonstrates step.
SUPER:
PUSH the plunger in
45°
AUDIO: Now I’ll inject the needle into my skin at about a 45-degree angle using a quick, short movement — like this. Now, holding the angle steady, I slowly push the plunger in all the way until all of the liquid is injected, and the syringe is empty. There we go.
VIDEO: Patient demonstrates step.
AUDIO: Now, I pull the needle out of my skin while keeping the syringe at the same angle, like this. I release the plunger to allow the syringe to move up.
VIDEO: Patient points to needle guard on syringe.
AUDIO: Until the entire needle is covered up by the needle guard. See how that works? The needle guard won’t come back down unless all the liquid has been injected.
VIDEO: Patient demonstrates step. SUPERs rotate through on screen.
SUPER:
Press a cotton ball or gauze pad over the injection site and hold for 10 seconds.
Do not rub the injection site. You may have slight bleeding. This is normal.
AUDIO: Alright, so now, I press my cotton ball where I just injected, and that’s it!
VIDEO: Patient demonstrates step.
SUPER:
Do not rub the injection site. You may have slight bleeding. This is normal.
AUDIO: I drop my used syringe in one of these handy sharps disposal containers. Voilá – safe and sound.
VIDEO: Patient places the sharps container on closet shelf.
AUDIO: Now I’ll just put it back out of reach. Just like that, another injection complete.
VIDEO: N/A (TITLE CARD: “HELPFUL TIPS for self-injecting”)
ANIMATION/SUPER:
PICK the injection site
PREPARE the syringe
PINCH the skin
PUSH the plunger in
Text animates on screen for each step.
AUDIO: So, to recap, I prepare myself and my space. I pick an injection site, prepare the syringe, pinch the skin, push the plunger in.
VIDEO: Patient demonstrates step.
AUDIO: And safely discard the syringe. That’s the whole injection process!
VIDEO: Patient speaks to camera.
AUDIO: Now, it seemed tricky at first, but I got it down soon enough. And Bryan, my Nurse Ambassador, he recommended I create a routine – injecting at the same time, same place – that sort of thing. I also do something nice for myself after each injection – maybe I’ll paint as a reward.
VIDEO: Patient holds up phone to camera.
AUDIO: Oh, and this Skyrizi Complete App has helped me so much.
VIDEO: Patient points to App on phone.
AUDIO: I mean I used it to log my first starter dose so I knew when to take my second starter dose 4 weeks later. You can set reminders for future doses, too.
VIDEO: Patient speaks to camera.
SUPER: 1 INJECTION 4x A YEAR
AUDIO: Since, after 2 starter doses, SKYRIZI is only 1 injection 4 times a year.
VIDEO: Patient points to phone.
App notification reminder appears on phone screen.
AUDIO: And when I get those reminders, I know to contact my specialty pharmacy to get my next injection on time.
VIDEO: Patient speaks to camera.
