Humira twice weekly, anyone?

[B Baker]

Hi Everyone,

Was wondering if anyone has been given Humira twice weekly? Apparently it's a new thing they are trying, my Crohn's is active and my Humira levels aren't optimal so this could be an option for me. I say that, they have to put it to the ccg (think that's what they are called) due to the price.

Humira worked great for me, going to weekly hasn't made any difference. Would love to hear from anyone that has tried this.

I did hear that the company who makes Humira is testing whether higher dose of humira improves the patients' condition or not.. But I haven't heard of anyone who injects twice every week

There are definitely some studies about injecting twice a week (80mg of Humira every week).

Here are some:
