About HUMIRA
HUMIRA may help you achieve clearer skin.
Red...flaky... These are just a few words that you may use to describe your psoriasis.
But now there is another option available to help some people treat their psoriasis.
If you have moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis, HUMIRA may help clear your
skin.
How HUMIRA Works
Even though psoriasis symptoms appear on your skin, it's a disease that is active inside your body, attacking healthy cells beneath your skin.
Psoriasis has been linked to overproduction of a protein in the body called tumor necrosis factor (TNF). This excess TNF can cause skin cells to grow too rapidly, resulting in red, itchy, flaking skin patches.
HUMIRA is a medication known as a TNF blocker. It works by blocking TNF molecules, a protein in your body that can cause inflammation, and helps reduce the inflammation too much TNF can cause.
HUMIRA has been shown to help clear skin
In one clinical trial for psoriasis patients, 7 out of 10 people taking HUMIRA saw 75% skin clearance and 6 out of 10 patients had clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks.
Individual results may vary.
See below for an example of what 75% skin clearance looks like.

HUMIRA Can Be a Convenient Option
Consider your options and you may find HUMIRA to be a good fit for your lifestyle.
- After the initial starting dose, you only need to inject HUMIRA every other week.
- You can inject HUMIRA in the convenience of your own home, once your doctor shows you how. Just make sure you keep HUMIRA refrigerated as instructed on your HUMIRA Medication Guide.
