Here is a passage from the SIMPONI ARIA MEDICATION GUIDE, which may be helpful to address your question:

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.¹

Especially, tell your doctor if you¹:

• use ORENCIA (abatacept) or KINERET (anakinra). You should not receive SIMPONI ARIA while you are also receiving ORENCIA (abatacept) or KINERET (anakinra).
• use other tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-blocker medicines, including REMICADE (infliximab), HUMIRA (adalimumab), ENBREL (etanercept), or CIMZIA (certolizumab pegol).
• receive RITUXAN (rituximab) or ACTEMRA (tocilizumab).

Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a list of these medicines if you are not sure.¹

Keep a list of all your medicines with you to show your doctor and pharmacist each time you get a new medicine.¹
