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.
