Answer 5

Adalimumab is used alone or in combination with other medications (such as methotrexate) to reduce the pain, swelling, and difficulty with daily activities caused by rheumatoid arthritis and to stop the disease from causing further damage to joints. It is only used in patients who have taken other medications to treat their disease and have not gotten better. Adalimumab is in a class of medications called tumor-necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. It works by blocking the activity of TNF, a substance in the body that causes swelling and joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis.
Please see the web pages for more details on Adalimumab (generic name) Humira (brand name).
