Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 I got this off the humira web site. for more info. go to http://www.humira.com What is HUMIRA? HUMIRA is the latest treatment option that controls the symptoms of RA - and slows the progression of the disease. HUMIRA is a biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD), the latest RA treatment approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). HUMIRA works by blocking the effects of cytokines, which act as messengers within the immune system and can cause inflammation to the joints. HUMIRA reduces the symptoms of RA by helping the body's own immune system to slow down the inflammation process and inhibit joint deterioration. HUMIRA is one of the most widely studied RA treatments to be approved by the FDA and has been proven to be safe and effective in treating the disease. HUMIRA can work fast to provide relief to painful joints. Some patients even see results as soon as 2 weeks. Full effect may take up to 3 months. HUMIRA also helps patients fight the fatigue that comes with RA. It's also convenient to take. HUMIRA is taken as a self-administered injection, which means you or a loved one can give the injection without having to visit your doctor. And, HUMIRA is usually taken once every two weeks, enabling you to live a life that's less dominated by RA. Gentle Caring Hug's Marie Marie A. Roomsburg P.O.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Do a research on Humira. I did when my hubby came home and told me that one of his friend's wives were on it. It scared the hell out of me and I'd never go on it. Just look it up at www.rxlist.com or www.drugs.com hugs, Sundra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
