A member asked:
Is humira safe for me to go on? i am worried about getting infections and maybe cancer. and about the long term side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do you NEED it?: All decisions to take medication, even an aspirin, weigh risks and benefits. Apart from hormone replacements and nutritional supplements, the only medicines that do not have significant side effects are the placebo treatments of charlatans. Adalimumab has enabled people crippled by arthritis, psoriasis, colitis and so forth to live normal lives. Infections recognized early can be managed.
