How is HUMIRA different from other medications that treat rheumatoid arthritis?
HUMIRA is a biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug, also called a biologic DMARD, or simply “biologic.” Biologics are a class of advanced medications approved for reducing the signs and symptoms of RA, and some are also approved for slowing the further progression of structural damage to the joints caused by moderate to severe RA. HUMIRA can be injected by you or a caregiver in the convenience of your own home. It usually needs to be used once every 2 weeks, however, some RA patients not taking methotrexate may benefit from weekly dosing.
