 TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA INHIBITORS

 Type: Rx Drug

  

HUMIRA  (ADALIMUMAB):  Adalimumab is used to reduce pain and swelling due to certain types of arthritis (such as rheumatoid, psoriatic, juvenile idiopathic, ankylosing spondylitis). This medication is also used to treat certain skin disorders (such as plaque-type psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa). It works by blocking a protein (tumor necrosis factor or TNF) found in the body's immune system that causes joint swelling and damage in arthritis as well as red scaly patches in psoriasis. Adalimumab belongs to a class of drugs known as TNF blockers. By reducing joint swelling, this medication helps to reduce further joint damage and preserve joint function. Adalimumab is also used to treat certain bowel conditions (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis) and a certain eye disease (uveitis).    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Spondyloarthritis I only took 3 doses of humira due to side effects. After the second injection I developed small red bumps (rash like) on my arms and legs. The doctor told me to wear sunblock and continue Humira. A few days after the 3rd injection I had severe pain that seemed to move through my body from one area to another starting with my knees. It hurt so bad that I could not straighten them or even touch them without excruciating pain. It moved to my shoulders, hands and wrists and jaw. Thankfully after an injection of solumedrol in the emergency room along with 2 rounds of prednisone it subsided and went away. I am left with achiness and weight gain which may be from all the prednisone. F 48 2 months

 4  Crohn's Minor fatigue the day after injections. I am an asymptomatic Crohn's patient who was very apprehensive about taking the doctor-directed Humira. Thankfully he convinced me that if I don't get on the drug, that situation will not last forever. Since on the drug my lack of symptoms has not changed and no adverse side-effects to this point. Is the drug working on my Crohn's? I will not know, maybe, until my next colonoscopy in November. Having only used the Humira citrate free injector I have to say the injections are a piece of cake.

 4  Chron's Disease Extreme Fatigue - Sinus Infections - constant stuffiness - joints pain, headaches. Weight gain and sore hands is also present. I have had several bowel resections - Chron's for 34 years - tried all drugs - steroids, sulfa, infusions - then Humira - It has restored my quality of life. I hate the side effects, but I want quality of life. I am hopeful that they come up with something less harmful - but for now its all I have. F 62 8 years

 1  Psoriasis Upon 4th injection, I broke out in a red rash that cover 75% of my body and a respiratory infection. Dr. gave steroids and antibiotics. The rash is now more psoriasis, not an allergic reaction. I’m covered, worse than before I took Humira. It has not gone away 2 months later. Initially, only about 20% of my body had psoriasis, now I’m covered. I wish I had never gotten the injections. M 23 2 months
