A member asked:

Is there a drug that is less expensive and can be used as a alternative to humira (adalimumab)?

Specializes in Gastroenterology

No: Humira (adalimumab) is a biologic? Infliximab is more expensive. Other medications may be an option, but this should be discussed with ourngastroenterologist.
