Pediatric Crohn's disease dosing information
Important: You must pay attention to your child’s starting dose—it is different than his or her maintenance dose and is a critical part of taking HUMIRA as prescribed. The doctor will take your child's weight into consideration when deciding the appropriate dose. Your child’s first injection must be given under the supervision of a health care professional. Remember to keep HUMIRA refrigerated in its original container until ready for use.
Redesigned HUMIRA is available in Pediatric Starter Packages, which include the prefilled syringes for starting doses on Days 1 and 15. The dosing schedule for pediatric patients 6 years of age and older with Crohn’s disease (CD) is based on body weight as shown below:
If your child weighs 37 to 87 lbs
If your child weighs 88 lbs or more
*Starting doses only for new patient starts.
The injection experience
Although the injection might now feel different from prior HUMIRA injections, you should continue to follow the injection technique you learned from training. There is no change in how HUMIRA is stored.
We understand that starting your child on a new treatment can be challenging.
