A member asked:
Is yeast infection a side effect of humira (adalimumab)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conceptual yes.: Humira (adalimumab) can cause an increase in both trivial infections and more severe ones, including reactivation of tb. Certainly yeast infections are quite common, but they certainly could increase in frequency.
