I just started with Simponi. It doesn’t say Aria - are they different? Such relief after Otezla, which made me really ill. Now fighting with Insurance to get Simponi! This month cost me $1500.

Hi all,
Simponi Aria and Simponi are the same drug, namely golimumab. The difference is in how they are administered.
- Simponi is given subcutaneously, which means an injection under the skin.
- Simponi Aria is an infusion, given intraveneously over 30 minutes (usually)

Thanks for the info, Colleen. I have had 3 doses so far. My right sacro-iliac joint is still acting up, but we’ll wait and see.
