About HUMIRA^®

Rheumatoid arthritis can cause joint damage, as seen on x-ray, within the first year. For many people, HUMIRA can help slow the progression of that damage.

It's a race against time. Right now, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) could be causing damage to your joints and bones. It can happen within the first 12 months of diagnosis.

That's why rheumatoid arthritis should be confronted early. Left untreated, the damage it causes can get progressively worse over time.
