Important safety information for HUMIRA® (adalimumab) in Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis²
HUMIRA is intended for use under the guidance and supervision of a physician experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions for which HUMIRA is indicated.
Psoriatic arthritis: HUMIRA is indicated for the treatment of active and progressive psoriatic arthritis in adults when the response to previous disease-modifying antirheumatic drug therapy has been inadequate.

Psoriasis: HUMIRA is indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis in adult patients who are candidates for systematic therapy
Paediatric plaque psoriasis: HUMIRA is indicated for the treatment of severe chronic plaque psoriasis in children and adolescents from 4 years of age who have had an inadequate response to or are inappropriate candidates for topical therapy and phototherapies.
Some patients may not be suitable for HUMIRA. You are strongly advised to read the prescribing information, which can be found at the top of this webpage and below, and the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) which are available online in the Electronic Medicines Compendium (EMC).
