Risk of Serious Infections  

  • Like steroids, Saphnelo can increase your risk of serious infections, like pneumonia
  • In many cases, this will require that you are treated with antibiotics in a hospital
  • 5 out of 100 people have serious infection when they take Saphnelo and 6 out of 100 people have serious infection when taking placebo (salt water) injection
  • The small difference in these numbers may be due to chance.
