Humira and antibiotics

So I was due my Humira on the 15th of August but had to start antibiotics that day... Do I take my next dose of Humira this week, a week after finishing my week of antibiotics and when I would’ve been due my next one without antibiotics, or do I have to wait another week til the 5th Sept? Thank you, I forget the rules all the time🤦🏻‍♀️

The important aspect is whether you are clear of the infection. If not, then wait a week or so after you are clear. As far as I am aware there is no clash between Humira ad any antibiotics, but any residual infection could flare up again if you dose with Humira too soon.

I agree with hawker955 i have been on and off of humira since I started it last year through various infections they would always take me off of humira while my infection

was still in my system and then I would go back on it Again and hope i had no more infections but while I have been on it it does seem to work you just have to be careful as it does compromise your immune system. Good.luck
