How you take it

One tablet once a day, with or without food.

Before your first dose

A tuberculosis (TB) test, a hepatitis test, and blood tests of your blood counts, liver and kidneys.
Your vaccines brought up to date, including the shingles vaccine. Ask which shots are live vaccines, because those are avoided right before and during treatment.
A pregnancy test, if you could become pregnant, and a plan for birth control that lasts until 3 days after the last dose.
Tell your doctor about any infections, smoking, cancer, heart problems, blood clots, stomach problems or diabetes.
Your doctor's office sends a form to My Compass Support, the drugmaker's support program. A Patient Access Liaison then calls or texts you.
Your insurance approves the medicine. A specialty pharmacy, Orsini or PANTHERx, calls to set up delivery to your home. Answer calls from numbers you do not know that week.
