The same tnf alpha plays a paradoxical role by producing inflammatory mediators that destroy cartilage and bone adelimimab binds to and neutralizes tnf alpha significantly reducing inflammation and damage however this comes at the cost of increased risk for infection humira is administered as a subcutaneous injection that means a needle is used to inject medicine
Into the tissue between the skin and muscle the cost of humira is around five thousand four hundred dollars for a supply of two injections but the manufacturer does offer financial assistance in the form of a savings card with a small copay of around five dollars monthly side effects humira is not without its side effects and adverse reactions point one these may
