For adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms, every choice matters.
Tramfya offers self-injection or intravenous infusion from the start.
Tramfya is administered as injections under the skin or infusions through a vein every four weeks, followed by injections under the skin every four or eight weeks. If your doctor decides that you can self-inject Tramfya, proper training is required.

SPEAKER_8 (3:02)
Well done.
Josh Widdicombe (3:03)
Like it. There we go.
This is Alfie, 30 months from Northampton, who really lives up to being the wild second child. Me and my sister have been listening since the beginning. So this will be a nice surprise for her to hear her nephew. We came to your O2 show and have seen you both separately. Thank you for making me laugh on my drives to work, Lauren, 388 months.
Rob Beckett (3:23)
Thank you for coming to our shows, Lauren. Without people like you, we wouldn't be doing this to be Josh. So thank you very much for listening, supporting us.
Josh Widdicombe (3:31)
Yeah. I did a tour show this week.
Rob Beckett (3:33)
Just to send thanks to our fans, Josh.
Josh Widdicombe (3:34)
I did a tour show this week.
Rob Beckett (3:36)
Did you?
Josh Widdicombe (3:37)
I know.
Rob Beckett (3:39)
Why did you say that?
Josh Widdicombe (3:41)
I did do a tour show this week.
Rob Beckett (3:43)
Where?
Josh Widdicombe (3:44)
So, do you remember when I was going to, I think we can say this, I was toying with going to Australia to do gigs.
Rob Beckett (3:51)
Yes.
Josh Widdicombe (3:52)
Well, that was like penciled in for late September.
Rob Beckett (3:57)
Yeah.
Josh Widdicombe (3:58)
So we got in three warm-up dates.
Rob Beckett (4:01)
To get you ready for Australia.
Josh Widdicombe (4:02)
Put them on sale.
Rob Beckett (4:06)
So you're getting warmed up strictly by doing three gigs that make you more tired.
Josh Widdicombe (4:09)
I can't go to Australia because of other work. That's fine because it wasn't on sales. That's okay.
