Used forPsoriasis
Humira can raise the risk of serious infections, including tuberculosis, and some cancers. Report fever, a lasting cough, night sweats or new lumps to a doctor right away. Do not inject if you have an active infection.
Choosing the right dose for you
Your clinician sets the schedule from your psoriasis, your health and your test results. Biosimilars follow the plan for their own product. Never change the schedule on your own.
Considerations include
- Severity and extent of psoriasis
- Past treatments and how they worked
- Screening test results
- Your overall health and infection risk
- Drug plan rules for your province
How Humira works
Humira blocks a key inflammation signal
Psoriasis is driven by an overactive immune system. A protein called TNF-alpha helps fuel the inflammation that builds plaques. Adalimumab is an antibody that binds TNF-alpha and blocks it.
With less inflammation, plaques can thin and fade over weeks to months. Adalimumab controls psoriasis but does not cure it.

Start my assessmentHumira contains adalimumab, an antibody that blocks TNF-alpha. This protein drives inflammation in psoriasis. Blocking it calms the skin.
Many people see a change within weeks, and improvement often continues for months. Your clinician reviews your response at follow-up and decides whether to continue.
Many people have clearer skin and less scaling, but results vary. Humira controls psoriasis. It does not cure it, and plaques can return if you stop. Your clinician sets goals with you.
Yes, when it is appropriate for you. A Canadian-licensed medical professional reviews your online intake. Your clinician decides if Humira is right for you. Your clinician first checks if online care is suitable, and some patients need in-person care or specialist monitoring.
Injection site reactions, headache and cold-like symptoms are common. Serious infections are less common but important. Tell your Care Team about fever, a lasting cough, night sweats or any new symptom.
People with an active serious infection, including tuberculosis, should not take it. It is also not for people with moderate to severe heart failure. Extra care applies with hepatitis B, nerve disease or a past cancer.
Options include acitretin, apremilast, certolizumab, bimekizumab and topical care such as calcipotriol, clobetasol and amcinonide. Your clinician explains which fit your psoriasis and your coverage.
Often yes. Moisturizers and topical treatments may stay in your plan. Tell your clinician about every medicine you take. Do not receive live vaccines while on treatment.
Tell your clinician if you are pregnant, plan a pregnancy or breastfeed. Your clinician weighs the benefits and risks and decides. This needs a planned discussion before you start.
Yes. Humira is the original brand. Biosimilars include Abrilada, Amgevita, Hadlima, Hulio, Hyrimoz, Idacio, Simlandi and Yuflyma. Many provinces ask patients to use biosimilars, and your clinician explains your options.
