I am taken Leflunomide 20 mg, Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg and prednisone 10mg, Turmeric Curcumin 500mg and my RA is still not under control.
I start the Humira tomorrow and do I quit all the other medicine? My RA doctor said no continue. Seem like a lot of medicine.... Is anyone else on that?

Hi Birdybean, I went to Drugs.com & looked up Leflunomide & Hydroxychloroquine & both medications are listed in the moderate range of interaction with Humira. I am not a dr, however, if this were me I would not take these two medications with Humira. Prednisone is fine with Humira.

Also, I do not know if you are aware of this but, tumeric & curcumin both have blood thinning agents, you don't want your blood getting too thin. Drugs.com is a very reliable site, you can look up supplements for information, including what medications they may interact with.

Take care.
