Humira (adalimumab): I recommend that you use a different biologic such as stellara, enbrel, or Remicade (infliximab) which is given by an infusion.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.

Psoriasis: While Humira is an excellent therapy for severe psoriasis, there are times when it stops working. Another option for you may be stelara (ustekinumab) which is also an injectable treatment which works a little differently than does Humira and is extremely effective in many patients.

Humira and Methotrexate are not working for my psoriasis. I asked the doctor about Stelara (ustekinumab). Dr. hasn't seen good results w/other patients on Stelera so doesn't use it. What would you recommend?

If two dermatologist , independently evaluate a person for plaque psoriasis, one comes to a conclusion of recommending Otezla&Methotrexate and the other recommend Humira. Which one has the least side effect? What does this say about their judgment?
