Reply to "Humira rhymes with Diarrhea"

Jan DollarModerator, RN, retired

My suggestion is to discuss this with your doc and possibly switch to a different biologic. For my enteropathic arthritis I was on Humira, then Simponi, then Cimzia. I eventually developed chronic pouchitis while taking Cimzia, so I am now on Inflectra infusions (Remicade biosimilar).

Scott is right that even though diarrhea is not a listed side effect for Humira, for you it seems to be.

My point is that you do have options. Switching to a new biologic is easy.
