A member asked:

Anyone seen/heard of negative effects of getting injectable fillers (such as juvederm, belotero, etc, .) in patients taking methotrexate and humira (adalimumab)?

Immunosuppression: These drugs can cause a suppression of the immune system. This will put the patient at an increased risk on infections and a decreased healing rate. These must be discussed with the patient prior to any injections.

Should be OK: As long as your doctor( who prescribed the medication ) is in agreement . We had successfully used ha filler with patients on methottexate and humira (adalimumab). Discuss this with your doctor, every patient is different and responds differently.
