HUMIRA is a prescription medicine used to reduce signs and symptoms, and to achieve and maintain clinical remission in children 6 years of age and older with moderate to severe Crohn’s disease when certain other treatments have not worked well enough.
If the doctor decides that you are able to give your child injections at home, you should receive training by a health care professional on the right way to prepare and inject HUMIRA. Do not try to inject HUMIRA until you have been shown the right way to give the injections.
Your child’s first injection must be given under the supervision of a health care professional.
Remember to keep your HUMIRA refrigerated in its original container until ready for use.
With HUMIRA, making an appointment and traveling to the doctor’s office might not be necessary for every dose. Pens and prefilled syringes of HUMIRA offer you the option to administer your child’s medicine in the comfort of your home. Keeping that in mind, we have the information that you may need to become more familiar with giving your child his or her injection. Your child’s doctor will follow up with you on a regular basis.
We are proud to offer you one-to-one, personalized support from a registered nurse–your own HUMIRA Ambassador. They can assist you in navigating through the insurance process and educate you about our co-pay savings program and other financial assistance that may be available. In addition, a HUMIRA Ambassador can arrange for in-home injection training from a local registered nurse, as well as other tools and services offered by HUMIRA. Call 1.800.4HUMIRA (1.800.448.6472) today to enroll in the Ambassador Program (select the option to speak with a nurse).
