Will taking humira (adalimumab) (immunotherapy/biotherapy) change a persons dna?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no evidence the use of Humira (adalimumab) or other biologics have any effect on a person's genetic makeup. These medications function by blocking tumor necrosis factor which is involved in the inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
