Side effects Humira Pen 40mg/0.8ml

Humira Pen 40mg can have a number of adverse effects.

As it is an immunosuppressant, the body will be more prone to infections when a person is using it.

Researchers have also found links between TNF blockers and cancer, including some rare and unusual types of cancer.

Common adverse effects include the following, but these are not the only ones:

  • redness, rash, swelling, itching or bruising at the injection site
  • infections, especially in the upper respiratory tract and sinuses
  • headaches and nausea

Some serious side effects require immediate medical attention.

Infections that can occur include tuberculosis (TB) and other infections caused by viruses, fungi, or bacteria. These can be serious.

Infections may develop in carriers of hepatitis B. Symptoms include fever and chills, muscle pain, fatigue, dark urine and a yellow tinge to the eyes of skin, loss of appetite, vomiting, clay-colored feces, stomach problems, and skin rash.

Allergic reactions affect some people. Symptoms include chest tightness, wheezing, and other breathing difficulties, hives, itching, and skin rash, swelling of the tongue, lips, face and other parts of the body.

Nervous system problems may occur, leading to weakness in the arms and legs, numbness, tingling, visual disturbances, and dizziness.

Blood problems may occur. A low platelet count can lead to a higher risk of bleeding, and a low level of white blood cells make it harder to fight infection. The person may have a fever that does not go away, or they may bruise or bleed easily.

Heart conditions can develop or get worse, leading to shortness of breath, sudden weight gain, and swelling in the hands and feet.

Immune reactions are possible. One example is a lupus-like syndrome, with chest pain and shortness of breath, joint pain, or a rash on the cheeks or arms that worsens when exposed to the sun.

Liver problems can arise, leading to fatigue, yellowish skin or eyes, vomiting and not wanting to eat, and abdominal pain.

Psoriasis may emerge or worsen.
