About HUMIRA

Crohn's disease symptoms can hit without warning.

The good news is, there are treatment options, including HUMIRA. HUMIRA is used to reduce the signs and symptoms of moderate to severe Crohn’s disease in adults who have not responded well to conventional treatments. HUMIRA is also for these adults with moderate to severe Crohn’s disease who have lost response to or are unable to tolerate infliximab. HUMIRA can reduce or help stop many Crohn's disease symptoms through ongoing therapy.

How HUMIRA Works

HUMIRA is a medicine called a TNF (tumor necrosis factor) blocker. HUMIRA works by binding TNF and helps block the process of inflammation in the intestines that is caused by Crohn's disease. Because TNF blockers, including HUMIRA, affect the immune system, they can lower the ability to fight infections and may cause other serious side effects.

Serious infections have happened in patients taking HUMIRA. These infections include tuberculosis (TB) and infections caused by viruses, fungi, or bacteria that have spread throughout the body. Some patients have died from these infections. HUMIRA may increase the chance of getting lymphoma or other cancers. HUMIRA can cause serious side effects including allergic reactions, hepatitis B virus reactivation, nervous system problems, blood problems, heart failure, certain immune reactions (including a lupus-like syndrome), and new or worsening psoriasis.

Clinical Results

Was shown to reduce or help stop many Crohn's symptoms
Helped many people see a significant difference in their symptoms in just 4 weeks
Helped patients achieve and maintain remission (stopped flare-ups for long periods of time)
