About Dosing
HUMIRA is available for children 4 to 17 years of age in the following: 20mg pre-filled
pediatric syringe, 40mg pre-filled syringe and a 40mg pen. HUMIRA is given by injection
under the skin every other week. Your child's doctor will be able to tell you the
recommended dose to manage your child's polyarticular JIA.
Use HUMIRA as prescribed
Use HUMIRA as your child’s doctor prescribed, every other week, on the same day
of the week. If your child misses a dose, give injection as soon as you remember.
Then give the next dose as you would have on the child’s originally scheduled date.
If you are unable to give the child the injection at any time, call your child’s
doctor or nurse for help right away.
