  • Herpes zoster was reported in 2.2% of patients receiving ZEPOSIA vs 0.4% receiving placebo in the maintenance phase1
      — No cases were serious or disseminated
  • All malignancies in ZEPOSIA patients were found by investigators to be unrelated to the study drug2
Please refer to the ZEPOSIA Summary of Product Characteristics for further safety information
ZEPOSIA has an immunosuppressive effect that predisposes patients to a risk of infection, and may increase the risk of developing malignancies. Physicians should carefully monitor patients, especially those with concurrent conditions or known factors.

Direct comparison can not be made between ZEPOSIA and placebo as no statistical test of comparisons have been made.
