Humira controls just one molecule of inflammation in controlling arthritis, or psoriasis, or uveitis. Effects are often noticeable within the first few days. This does partially suppress your immune system and should be taken into consideration if you have another infection.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.
