HUMIRA (adalimumab) Dosing

ADMINISTRATION CONSIDERATIONS1

  • HUMIRA is administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection
  • The first injection should be given under the supervision of a healthcare professional. A patient may self-inject HUMIRA after appropriate training and monitoring by a healthcare professional
  • Prior to initiating HUMIRA and periodically during therapy, patients should be evaluated for active tuberculosis and tested for latent infection
  • In clinical trials, the most common adverse reaction was injection site reactions. 20% of patients treated with HUMIRA developed injection site reactions (erythema and/or itching, hemorrhage, pain, or swelling), compared to 14% of patients receiving placebo. Most were mild and did not necessitate discontinuation
  • Anaphylaxis or serious allergic reactions may occur
