It is important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly and to check for unwanted effects.
Your body's ability to fight infection may be reduced while you are being treated with anakinra, it is very important that you call your doctor at the first signs of any infection (for example, if you get a fever or chills).
While you are being treated with anakinra, do not have any immunizations (vaccinations) without your doctor's approval.
