Getting results with HUMIRA for ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
It’s understandable that you may have some questions about starting a new treatment. That’s why we want to provide you with the information and support you need as you start your HUMIRA treatment.

Taking HUMIRA correctly.
It's important to use proper injection technique and follow the dosing schedule for your treatment with HUMIRA.
The recommended dose is 1 HUMIRA Pen or syringe (40 mg) every other week. Always follow your doctor's instructions about when and how often to take HUMIRA. If you need additional help with self-injecting, you can view an instructional video here.
Your first injection must be given under the supervision of a health care professional. You can request in-person injection training from a nurse in your home, doctor’s office, or online by calling 1.800.4HUMIRA (1.800.448.6472). Or if you have any questions about injection, you can speak to a registered nurse about your HUMIRA treatment. Remember to keep your HUMIRA refrigerated in its original container until ready for use.
For more information on the right way to inject HUMIRA, refer to the Patient Instructions for Use, and the Medication Guide located inside your HUMIRA carton, and within the Full Prescribing Information. If you need additional help with self-injecting, you can view an instructional video here.
Continue taking HUMIRA as directed by your doctor.
Remember, HUMIRA is a treatment, not a cure. Your doctor can tell you if and when you should stop taking HUMIRA.
Common side effects of HUMIRA include injection site reactions (pain, redness, rash, swelling, itching, or bruising), upper respiratory infections (sinus infections), headaches, rash, and nausea. These are not all of the possible side effects with HUMIRA. Tell your doctor if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
If you experience any adverse reactions or discomfort when taking HUMIRA, discuss them with your doctor right away.
