Adalimumab is a biological medication, which means it's made up of proteins or other substances produced by the body. It's used in order to reduce inflammation by acting on the immune system. The adalimumab injection is widely used to treat inflammation of the joints (RA, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and active enthesitis-related arthritis), skin (plaque psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa), joints and skin (PsA), spine, causing back pain (axial spondyloarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis), gut and ulcers in the lining of the gut (Crohn's disease and UC). Adalimumab is available on prescription. It comes as a pre-filled syringe or an injection pen, which should be injected under the skin.
