Hello, all. I've been on Humira for a while now and had to stop it about a month ago due to insurance issues. I got accepted by the patient assistance program and am scheduled for delivery of my Humira tomorrow. Will I be able to take it again with no issues?

Yes, without issues. I've posted links before in answer to this type of inquiry. Basically says stopping a biologic for 1-2 months and then resuming is a nonissue for most. Good luck,

Also, since it is a fully human antibody, you should be ok even if you stopped it for longer than a month

Ok, thanks. My doctor seems to think otherwise. I've also been told that surgery was next if the Humira stops working.
