Humira (adalimumab) is a drug that was originally used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. It is now also approved to treat Crohn's disease. You may wonder how one drug can be used to treat two such different conditions. The reason is that Humira blocks the compound that is thought to play a role in the inflammatory process of both diseases. Learn more about this drug and how it works for Crohn's disease.


I’m going to e-mail this to a friend who has Crohn’s. I don’t know if he’s tried Humira. FYI: I do some writing for Mayo Clinic, and I know that MayoClinic.com’s article on Crohn’s Disease covers many Crohn’s treatments, including Humira. It’s worth checking out.
