HUMIRA Dosing for Adult Crohn’s Disease

Important: You must pay attention to your starting dose–it is different than your maintenance dose and is a critical part of taking HUMIRA as prescribed. Always follow your doctor’s instructions about when and how often to take HUMIRA.*

HUMIRA is given by injection under the skin.

Starting dose

Starting doses are higher doses to help you quickly reach an effective concentration of medicine in your body and they are typically administered on Day 1 and Day 15 of your treatment with HUMIRA. An initial Day 1 dose is 160 mg (given in one day or split over two consecutive days) followed by one 80 mg on Day 15.

Maintenance Dose

After that, you’ll continue with one 40 mg maintenance dose every other week starting on Day 29. This lower dose is meant to help you keep the amount of HUMIRA in your body at a stable level.

Your first dose of HUMIRA must be given under the supervision of a health care professional. Make sure you have been shown how to inject HUMIRA before you do it yourself. Remember to keep your HUMIRA refrigerated in its original container until ready for use.  

You should 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.

For more information, refer to the Patient Instructions for Use and the Medication Guide located inside the HUMIRA carton, and within the Full Prescribing Information. If you experience any adverse reactions or discomfort when taking HUMIRA, discuss them with your doctor right away.

How does HUMIRA work?

The protein TNF-alpha is believed to be part of your body’s natural processes involved in creating inflammation, and in some cases, excess inflammation. When used as prescribed, HUMIRA targets and blocks TNF-alpha, which can help reduce the excess inflammation associated with Crohn’s disease.
