Patient Medication Information: uses, side effects, how to take - Omvoh (Eli Lilly Canada, 100 mg, ..., 200 mL)
What OMVOH is used for:
- OMVOH contains the active substance ‘mirikizumab’, a monoclonal antibody. Monoclonal antibodies are proteins that recognise and bind specifically to certain proteins in the body.
- OMVOH works by stopping a protein in the body called ‘IL-23’, which causes inflammation.
- Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the large bowel. If you have ulcerative colitis, you will first be given other medicines. If you do not respond well enough or cannot tolerate these medicines, you may be given OMVOH to reduce signs and symptoms of ulcerative colitis such as diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and urgency.
- Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the digestive tract. If you have Crohn’s disease, you will first be given other medicines. If you do not respond well enough or cannot tolerate these medicines, you may be given OMVOH to reduce signs and symptoms of Crohn’s disease such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, and urgency.
How OMVOH works:
OMVOH contains the active substance ‘mirikizumab’, a monoclonal antibody. Monoclonal antibodies are proteins that recognize and bind specifically to certain proteins in the body.
OMVOH works by stopping a protein in the body called ‘IL-23’, which causes inflammation.
The ingredients in OMVOH are:
Medicinal ingredients: mirikizumab
Non-medicinal ingredients (vial): citric acid anhydrous, histidine, histidine hydrochloride monohydrate, mannitol, polysorbate 80, sodium chloride, sodium citrate dihydrate, and water for injection.
Non-medicinal ingredients (prefilled pen and syringe): histidine, histidine hydrochloride monohydrate, mannitol, polysorbate 80, sodium chloride, and water for injection.
OMVOH comes in the following dosage forms:
Intravenous Infusion:
- Single-use vial: 20 mg / mL (300 mg / 15 mL)
Subcutaneous Injection
- Prefilled syringe: 100 mg / mL
- Prefilled pen: 100 mg / mL
- Prefilled syringe: 200 mg / 2 mL
- Prefilled pen: 200 mg / 2 mL
Do not use OMVOH if:
- You are allergic to mirikizumab or any of the other ingredients of this medicine. See “The ingredients in OMVOH are:” section.
- If you have important active infections.
To help avoid side effects and ensure proper use, talk to your healthcare professional before you take OMVOH. Talk about any health conditions or problems you may have, including if you:
- currently have an infection or if you have an infection that keeps coming back. OMVOH may lower your ability to fight infections and may increase your risk of infections.
- have tuberculosis (TB) or have been in close contact with someone with TB.
- have recently received or plan to receive an immunization (vaccine). You should not be given certain types of vaccines (called ‘live vaccines’) while using OMVOH.
- have liver problems.
- experience signs of an allergic reaction or other reaction to an infusion such as wheezing, difficulty breathing, hives, itching, swelling or dizziness. These could occur during or several hours after the infusion.
Other warnings you should know about:
Your healthcare professional may check blood tests while taking OMVOH to help tell if your liver is functioning normally. If blood tests are abnormal, your healthcare professional might interrupt therapy with OMVOH and do additional tests on your liver to determine the cause.
OMVOH is not approved for children and adolescents under 18 years of age. This is because it has not been studied in this age group.
If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your healthcare professional for advice before using this medicine. This is because it is not known if OMVOH can harm your unborn baby. If you are a woman of childbearing potential, use adequate contraception while using OMVOH. Talk to your healthcare professional about your contraception options.
If you are breastfeeding or are planning to breastfeed, talk to your healthcare professional before using this medicine. It is not known if OMVOH passes into breast milk. You and your healthcare professional should decide if you will breastfeed while using OMVOH.
Tell your healthcare professional about all the medicines you take, including any drugs, vitamins, minerals, natural supplements or alternative medicines.
OMVOH may change the way the body responds to live vaccines.
How to take OMVOH:
- You will first receive OMVOH through a vein in the arm (intravenous infusion or IV) given by a healthcare professional every 4 weeks for a total of 3 doses.
- Your healthcare professional may decide that you may benefit from an additional 3 doses of OMVOH by intravenous infusion.
- You will then continue to receive OMVOH as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection) every 4 weeks as described below.
Treatment Start: Intravenous Infusion
- OMVOH will be given to you by a healthcare professional in a healthcare setting.
- You will be given OMVOH through a needle placed in a vein (intravenous infusion or IV) in your arm over a period of about 30 minutes (ulcerative colitis) or 90 minutes (Crohn’s disease).
- Your healthcare professional will monitor you closely during the infusion.
Maintenance Treatment: Subcutaneous Injection by prefilled pen or prefilled syringe
- Use OMVOH exactly as your healthcare professional tells you to.
OMVOH comes in 2 different types of devices:
- a single-patient-use (1-time use only) prefilled pen
- a single-patient-use (1-time use only) prefilled syringe
- Your healthcare professional will decide with you which type of device is best for you.
- Ulcerative colitis: A full maintenance dose for patients with ulcerative colitis is 200 mg given as two injections of 100 mg each or one injection of 200 mg. If administered as two injections (100 mg / mL + 100 mg / mL), 2 prefilled pens or 2 prefilled syringes should be given as two consecutive injections, in any order.
- Crohn’s disease: A full maintenance dose for patients with Crohn’s disease is 300 mg given as two consecutive injections of 100 mg and 200 mg (100 mg / mL + 200 mg / 2 mL) via two prefilled pens or two prefilled syringes, in any order.
- OMVOH is intended for use under the guidance and supervision of your healthcare professional. If your healthcare professional decides that you or a caregiver may give your injections of OMVOH at home, you should receive training on the correct way to prepare and inject OMVOH. Do not try to inject OMVOH yourself until you or your caregiver have been shown how to inject OMVOH.
- OMVOH can be injected by patients and/or caregivers under the skin in your stomach area (abdomen) or upper leg (thigh). OMVOH can be injected only by caregivers in the back of the upper arm.
- Use a different injection site each time you use OMVOH. For example, if the first injection was in the abdomen, the second injection - to complete a full dose - should be in another area of the abdomen, thigh, or back of upper arm. Rotate injection sites.
- Do not give an injection in an area that is tender, bruised, red, or hard.
- Do not use this medication if it looks cloudy or is leaking.
- Read the detailed Instructions for Use that come with OMVOH prefilled pen or prefilled syringe about how to use OMVOH the correct way.

What if the needle did not retract after my injection?
A.
Do not touch the needle or replace the gray base cap. Store the Pen in a safe place to avoid an accidental needlestick and contact 1-888-545-5972 for instructions on how to return the Pen.
Q.
What if there is a drop of liquid or blood on my skin after my injection?
A.
This is normal. Press a cotton ball over the injection site. Do not rub the injection site.
Q.
How can I tell if my injection is complete?
A.
After you press the blue injection button, you will hear 2 loud clicks. The second loud click tells you that your injection is complete. You will also see the gray plunger at the top of the clear base. The injection may take up to 15 seconds.
Q.
What if I remove the Pen before the second loud click or before the gray plunger stops moving?
A.
You may not have received your full dose. Do not give another injection. Call your healthcare provider for help.
Q.
What if I heard more than 2 clicks during my injection – 2 loud clicks and 1 soft one. Did I get my complete injection?
A.
Some people may hear a soft click right before the second loud click. That is the normal operation of the Pen. Do not remove the Pen from your skin until you hear the second loud click.

Used OMVOH Pen disposal
Put the used OMVOH Pens in a sharps disposal container right away after use. Do not throw away (dispose of) the OMVOH Pens in the trash.
If you do not have a sharps disposal container, you may use a household container that is:
- made of a heavy-duty plastic
- can be closed with a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid, without sharps being able to come out
- upright and stable during use
- leak-resistant
- properly labeled to warn of hazardous waste inside the container.
When your sharps disposal container is almost full, you will need to follow your community guidelines for the right way to dispose of your sharps disposal container.
There may be local laws about how you should throw away needles and syringes.
Do not recycle your used sharps disposal container.
