Humira and Cholesterol levels?

[Mary:)]

I have been on Humira for almost 2 years now and feeling well. I have gained some weight recently and also had blood testing which showed my cholesterol elevated. I have never had elevated cholesterol before. Just wondering if any other Humira users have had an elevated cholesterol level. Thanks bunches

Hi Mary,

I did a little checking for you and according to the Humira prescribing information, during clinical trials 6% of people had increased cholesterol levels versus 4% of placebo. So yes, it's possible but obviously there could be other factors as well.
