Important Considerations:

• Prescription Required: Adalimumab is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
• Potential Side Effects: Like all medications, Adalimumab may cause side effects. Common side effects include injection site reactions, upper respiratory infections, and headaches. Serious side effects are rare but may include infections, allergic reactions, and heart failure.
