Safe to take anti biotics with humira?

[QuicksWife]

I am going to redi for a possible sinus infection. My son and husband have had it. Just wondering if it's safe to take antibotics while on humira? I have red different answers on google. I just don't trust all doctors especially when it's not my gastro doc prosceibing it.

If your sick enough to need an antibiotic then you need to call your Gi
They each have rules on how long you have to be fever free and on the antibiotic before you can start humira again.

Minor infections without a fever ds was allowed to get his humira shot maybe one time
But later when he had mastoiditis he had to finished the antibiotics first (3 weeks worth btw )

Other times even minor toe nail infections - no humira while on a oral antibiotic
Again you have to call the Gi
Anytime Ds has a fever for any infection they want to know

Good luck

My son has what is probably a sinus infection. The GP pxed a zpac for antibiotics. He is on Humira weekly and methotrexate. GI said neither med until fever had been gone a full 48 hours.

I didn't have a fever. I can't take my humira until next week. I am starting to feel a little better, I just hope this does drag one for weeks. I get a burst of energy and do some cleaning then I go back to feeling like crap.

I have taken antibiotics with Humira, But different ones may react with the biologic. Biggest thing you have to remember obviously is the weakened immune system. Constant washing of hands and if you hear someone sneeze/cough...I usually go the other direction.
