How Does Humira Injection Work?

Humira Injection operates by targeting and blocking a protein known as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), which plays a key role in causing inflammation in the body. By binding to TNF-alpha, Humira effectively reduces systemic inflammation. This action aids in alleviating the signs and symptoms of inflammatory conditions and can help many patients achieve and maintain remission.

How Should You Take Humira Injection?

When it comes to taking a Humira (adalimumab) injection, it’s important to receive proper training from your doctor or nurse. Here are the general steps for administering the injection:

Prepare the Injection Site: Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab using a circular motion. After cleaning, avoid touching the area.

Administer the Injection: Press the plum-colored activator button on the Pen with your index finger or thumb to start the injection.

You’ll hear a loud ‘click’ when you press the activator button, signaling the start of the injection.

Keep pressing the activator button and hold the pen against your skin until all the medicine has been injected, which may take up to 10 seconds.
