Dangerous Drugs - Humira
Humira is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. It derives its treatment benefits from its ability to lower the amount of TNF proteins available in the body. Limiting TNF proteins, or cytokines, diminishes joint and bone pain.
A recent medical study cited a major increase in cancer risk for patients who have used Humira in the past. Users of the drug were three times as likely to develop some kind of cancer and twice as likely to suffer from severe infection. These frightening side effects are estimated to occur in one of every 154, within 6 to 12 months from the first dose of Humira. Serious infections are estimated to occur in one of every 54 patients treated, usually within 3 to 6 months after Humira treatment begins.
