A member asked:
Giving myself humira (adalimumab) shot, if i did the pull back trick and blood came out, can i still use the shot? humira (adalimumab) being too expensive.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The pullback is to avoid injecting the medication directly into a vein. That could kill you. There is no problem at all in repositioning the needle and injecting the med with a little bit of your own blood. Completely safe.
