Some patients taking HUMIRA plus methotrexate saw results in as quickly as 2 weeks. For others, it can take up to 3 months or longer. If it’s working, you’ll likely notice less pain, swelling, and joint stiffness. Individual results may vary.
HUMIRA can help relieve pain, swelling, and joint stiffness

The recommended dose is 1 HUMIRA Pen or syringe (40 mg) every other week. Some patients not taking methotrexate may benefit from taking HUMIRA once every week. HUMIRA is given by an injection under the skin. Always follow your doctor’s instructions.
