1. What zessly is and what it is used for

Zessly contains the active substance infliximab. Infliximab is a monoclonal antibody - a type of protein that attaches to a specific target in the body called TNF (tumour necrosis factor) alpha.

Zessly belongs to a group of medicines called TNF blockers . It is used in adults for the following inflammatory diseases:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Ankylosing spondylitis (Bechterew s disease)
  • Psoriasis.

Zessly is also used in adults and children 6 years of age or older for:

  • Crohn s disease
  • Ulcerative colitis.

Zessly works by selectively attaching to TNF alpha and blocking its action. TNF alpha is involved in inflammatory processes of the body so blocking it can reduce the inflammation in your body.

Rheumatoid arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease of the joints. If you have active rheumatoid arthritis you will first be given other medicines. If these medicines do not work well enough, you will be given Zessly which you will take in combination with another medicine called methotrexate to:

  • Reduce the signs and symptoms of your disease
  • Slow down the damage in your joints
  • Improve your physical function.

Psoriatic arthritis Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory disease of the joints, usually accompanied by psoriasis. If you have active psoriatic arthritis you will first be given other medicines. If these medicines do not work well enough, you will be given Zessly to:

  • Reduce the signs and symptoms of your disease
  • Slow down the damage in your joints
  • Improve your physical function.

Ankylosing spondylitis (Bechterew s disease) Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory disease of the spine. If you have ankylosing spondylitis you will first be given other medicines. If these medicines do not work well enough, you will be given Zessly to:

  • Reduce the signs and symptoms of your disease
  • Improve your physical function.

Psoriasis Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease of the skin. If you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, you will first be given other medicines or treatments, such as phototherapy. If these medicines or treatments do not work well enough, you will be given Zessly to reduce the signs and symptoms of your disease.

Ulcerative colitis Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the bowel. If you have ulcerative colitis you will first be given other medicines. If these medicines do not work well enough, you will be given Zessly to treat your disease.

Crohn s disease Crohn s disease is an inflammatory disease of the bowel. If you have Crohn s disease you will first be given other medicines. If these medicines do not work well enough, you will be given Zessly to:

  • treat active Crohn s disease
  • reduce the number of abnormal openings (fistulae) between your bowel and your skin that have not been controlled by other medicines or surgery.

2. What you need to know before you take zessly

You should not be given Zessly if:

  • You are allergic to infliximab or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • You are allergic (hypersensitive) to proteins that come from mice.
  • You have tuberculosis (TB) or another serious infection such as pneumonia or sepsis.
  • You have heart failure that is moderate or severe.

Do not use Zessly if any of the above applies to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor before you are given Zessly.

Warnings and precautions Talk to your doctor before or during treatment with Zessly if you have:

Had treatment with any medicine containing infliximab before

  • Tell your doctor if you have had treatment with medicines containing infliximab in the past and are now starting Zessly treatment again.
  • If you have had a break in your treatment with infliximab of more than 16 weeks, there is a higher risk for allergic reactions when you start the treatment again.

Infections

  • Tell your doctor before you are given Zessly if you have an infection, even if it is a very minor one.
  • Tell your doctor before you are given Zessly if you have ever lived in or travelled to an area where infections called histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, or blastomycosis are common. These infections are caused by specific types of fungi that can affect the lungs or other parts of your body.
  • You may get infections more easily when you are being treated with Zessly. If you are 65 or older, you have a greater risk.
  • These infections may be serious and include tuberculosis, infections caused by viruses, fungi, bacteria or other organisms in the environment and sepsis that may be life-threatening. Tell your doctor straight away if you get signs of infection during treatment with Zessly. Signs include fever, cough, flu-like signs, feeling unwell, red or hot skin, wounds or dental problems. Your doctor may recommend temporarily stopping Zessly.

Tuberculosis (TB)

  • It is very important that you tell your doctor if you have ever had TB or if you have been in close contact with someone who has had or has TB.
  • Your doctor will test you to see if you have TB. Cases of TB have been reported in patients treated with infliximab, even in patients who have already been treated with medicines for TB. Your doctor will record these tests on your patient reminder card.
  • If your doctor feels that you are at risk for TB, you may be treated with medicines for TB before you are given Zessly. Tell your doctor straight away if you get signs of TB during treatment with Zessly. Signs include persistent cough, weight loss, feeling tired, fever, night sweats.

Hepatitis B virus

  • Tell your doctor before you are given Zessly if you are a carrier of hepatitis B or have ever had it.
  • Tell your doctor if you think you might be at risk of contracting hepatitis B.
  • Your doctor should test you for hepatitis B virus.
  • Treatment with TNF blockers such as Zessly may result in reactivation of hepatitis B virus in patients who carry this virus, which can be life-threatening in some cases.

Heart problems

  • Tell your doctor if you have any heart problems, such as mild heart failure.
  • Your doctor will want to closely monitor your heart. Tell your doctor straight away if you get new or worsening signs of heart failure during treatment with Zessly. Signs include shortness of breath or swelling of your feet.

Cancer and lymphoma

  • Tell your doctor before you are given Zessly if you have or have ever had lymphoma (a type of blood cancer) or any other cancer.
  • Patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis, who have had the disease for a long time, may be at higher risk of developing lymphoma.
  • Children and adults taking Zessly may have an increased risk of developing lymphoma or another cancer.
  • Some patients who have received TNF-blockers, including infliximab, have developed a rare type of cancer called hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma. Of these patients, most were teenage boys or young men and most had either Crohn s disease or ulcerative colitis. This type of cancer has usually resulted in death. Almost all patients had also received medicines containing azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine in addition to TNF-blockers.
  • Some patients treated with infliximab have developed certain kinds of skin cancer. If there are any changes in your skin or growths on the skin during or after therapy, tell your doctor.
  • Some women being treated for rheumatoid arthritis with infliximab have developed cervical cancer. For women taking Zessly including those over 60 years of age, your doctor may recommend regular screening for cervical cancer.

Lung disease or heavy smoking

  • Tell your doctor before you are given Zessly if you have a lung disease called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or if you are a heavy smoker.
  • Patients with COPD and patients who are heavy smokers may have a higher risk of developing cancer with Zessly treatment.

Nervous system disease

  • Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had a problem that affects your nervous system before you are given Zessly. This includes multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barr syndrome, if you have fits or have been diagnosed with optic neuritis . Tell your doctor straight away if you get symptoms of a nerve disease during treatment with Zessly. Signs include changes in your vision, weakness in your arms or legs, numbness or tingling in any part of your body.

Abnormal skin openings

  • Tell your doctor if you have any abnormal skin openings (fistulae) before you are given Zessly.

Vaccinations

  • Talk to your doctor if you recently have had or are due to have a vaccine.
  • You should receive recommended vaccinations before starting Zessly treatment. You may receive some vaccines during treatment with Zessly but you should not receive live vaccines (vaccines that contain a living but weakened infectious agent) while using Zessly because they may cause infections.
  • If you received Zessly while you were pregnant, your baby may also be at higher risk for getting an infection as a result of receiving a live vaccine during the first year of life. It is important that you tell your baby's doctors and other healthcare professionals about your Zessly use so they can decide when your baby should receive any vaccine, including live vaccines such as the BCG vaccine (used to prevent tuberculosis).
  • If you are breast-feeding, it is important that you tell your baby s doctors and other healthcare professionals about your Zessly use before your baby is given any vaccine. For more information see section on Pregnancy and breast-feeding.

Therapeutic infectious agents

  • Talk to you doctor if you have recently received or are scheduled to receive treatment with a therapeutic infectious agent (such as BCG instillation used for the treatment of cancer).

Operations or dental procedures

  • Tell your doctor if you are going to have any operations or dental procedures.
  • Tell your surgeon or dentist that you are having treatment with Zessly by showing them your patient reminder card.

Liver problems

  • Some patients receiving treatment with medicines containing infliximab have developed serious liver problems. Tell your doctor straight away if you get symptoms of liver problems during treatment with Zessly. Signs include yellowing of the skin and eyes, dark-brown coloured urine, pain or swelling in the upper right side of the stomach area, joint pain, skin rashes, or fever.

Low blood counts

  • In some patients receiving treatment with medicines containing infliximab, the body may not make enough of the blood cells that help fight infections or help stop bleeding. Tell your doctor straight away if you get symptoms of low blood counts during treatment with Zessly. Signs include persistent fever, bleeding or bruising more easily, small red or purple spots caused by bleeding under the skin, or looking pale.

Immune system disorder

  • Some patients receiving treatment with medicines containing infliximab have developed symptoms of an immune system disorder called lupus. Tell your doctor straight away if you develop symptoms of lupus during treatment with Zessly. Signs include joint pain or a rash on cheeks or arms that is sensitive to the sun.

Children and adolescents The information above also applies to children and adolescents. In addition:

  • Some children and teenage patients who have received TNF-blockers such as infliximab have developed cancers, including unusual types, which sometimes resulted in death.
  • More children taking infliximab developed infections as compared to adults.
  • Children should receive recommended vaccinations before starting Zessly treatment. Children may receive some vaccines during treatment with Zessly but should not receive live vaccines while using Zessly.

If you are not sure if any of the above apply to you, talk to your doctor before you are given Zessly.

Other medicines and Zessly Patients who have inflammatory diseases already take medicines to treat their problem. These medicines may cause side effects. Your doctor will advise you what other medicines you must keep using while you are having Zessly.

Tell your doctor if you are using or have recently used any other medicines, including any other medicines to treat Crohn s disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis or psoriasis or medicines obtained without a prescription, such as vitamins and herbal medicines.

In particular, tell your doctor if you are using any of the following medicines:

  • Medicines that affect your immune system.
  • Kineret (anakinra). Zessly and Kineret should not be used together.
  • Orencia (abatacept). Zessly and Orencia should not be used together.

While using Zessly you should not receive live vaccines. If you were using Zessly during pregnancy or if you are receiving Zessly while breast-feeding, tell your baby s doctor and other health care professionals caring for your baby about your Zessly use before the baby receives any vaccines.

If you are not sure if any of the above apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Zessly.

Pregnancy, breast-feeding, and fertility

  • If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine. Zessly should only be used during pregnancy or while breast-feeding if your doctor feels it is necessary for you.
  • You should avoid getting pregnant when you are being treated with Zessly and for 6 months after you stop being treated with it. Discuss the use of contraception during this time with your doctor.
  • If you received Zessly during your pregnancy, your baby may have a higher risk for getting an infection.
  • It is important that you tell your baby s doctors and other health care professionals about your Zessly use before your baby is given any vaccine. If you received Zessly while pregnant, giving BCG vaccine (used to prevent tuberculosis) to your baby within 12 months after birth may result in infection with serious complications, including death. Live vaccines such as the BCG vaccine should not be given to your baby within 12 months after birth, unless your baby s doctor recommends otherwise. For more information see section on vaccination.
  • If you are breast-feeding, it is important that you tell your baby s doctors and other healthcare professionals about your Zessly use before your baby is given any vaccine. Live vaccines should not be given to your baby while you are breast-feeding unless your baby s doctor recommends otherwise.
  • Severely decreased numbers of white blood cells have been reported in infants born to women treated with infliximab during pregnancy. If your baby has continual fevers or infections, contact your baby s doctor immediately.

Driving and using machines Zessly is not likely to affect your ability to drive or use tools or machines. If you feel tired, dizzy or unwell after having Zessly, do not drive or use any tools or machines.
