Hello Thomas,

Humira (adalimumab) is typically administered through subcutaneous injections, either every week or every other week after an initial loading dose. It is available as a single-dose prefilled pen or single-dose prefilled syringe. Humira is the only biologic medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically for Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS).

Infusions, such as those used with other biologics like Remicade (infliximab), are also used to treat HS but are generally prescribed off-label. These are administered intravenously and the frequency can vary based on the specific treatment plan.

Each person's experience with these treatments can vary, so it's important to discuss with your healthcare provider which option might work best for your specific condition.
