Humira
Humira, also known by its generic name adalimumab, is a prescription medication used to treat several autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and plaque psoriasis. It works by blocking a substance in the body known as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which plays a key role in inflammation and immune system responses.
How is this medication used?
Humira is administered via subcutaneous injection. The dosage and frequency depend on the condition being treated. It is important to follow the prescribing doctor's instructions carefully. Patients are usually instructed on how to self-inject Humira at home after receiving proper training by a healthcare provider.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of Humira include injection site reactions (redness, rash, swelling, itching, or bruising), upper respiratory infections (such as sinus infections), headaches, and nausea. Serious side effects can include infections (such as tuberculosis and sepsis), liver problems, lymphoma, and other types of cancer. It can also cause allergic reactions and autoimmune reactions.
What are the potential interactions?
Humira can interact with live vaccines and should not be used together. Patients should avoid receiving live vaccines while using Humira. It may also interact with other medications that affect the immune system, increasing the risk of infection or other serious side effects. Always inform healthcare providers about all medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
