About HUMIRA®
While the exact cause of JIA is unknown, the disease has been linked to overproduction
of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a protein in the body.
This excess TNF can signal cells to attack normal body tissue and cause inflammation
in the tissues of bones, cartilage and joints.
Biologics could be the answer you're looking for
HUMIRA (adalimumab), a biologic, can help block the bad effects of TNF. HUMIRA is
used in children 4 years of age and older to reduce signs and symptoms of moderate
to severe polyarticular JIA. HUMIRA can be used alone or with methotrexate or with
certain other medicines.
