Active Ingredient: Adalimumab
Adalimumab is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis in adult patients.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Subcutaneous
40 - 80 mg
From 40 To 80 mg once every 14 day(s)
80 mg
40 mg
The recommended dose of adalimumab for adult patients is an initial dose of 80 mg administered subcutaneously, followed by 40 mg subcutaneously given every other week starting one week after the initial dose. Adalimumab 40 mg solution for injection in pre-filled syringe and/or pre-filled pen is available for the maintenance dose.
Continued therapy beyond 16 weeks should be carefully reconsidered in a patient not responding within this time period.
Beyond 16 weeks, patients with inadequate response to adalimumab 40 mg every other week may benefit from an increase in dosage to 40 mg every week or 80 mg every other week. The benefits and risks of continued 40 mg weekly or 80 mg every other week therapy should be carefully reconsidered in a patient with an inadequate response after the increase in dosage. If adequate response is achieved with 40 mg every week or 80 mg every other week, the dosage may subsequently be reduced to 40 mg every other week.
Adalimumab may be available in other strengths and/or presentations depending on the individual treatment needs.
