Humira (adalimumab): I recommend that you use a different biologic such as stellara, enbrel, or Remicade (infliximab) which is given by an infusion.

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.
