What food should I avoid while taking Humira?

There are no known food interactions with Humira (adalimumab) and food, so most patients can continue their normal diet. However, dietary needs may vary based on your medical condition. Always consult your doctor before making dietary changes.

Does Humira Affect Food Choices?

Studies have not been conducted to determine how Humira may or may not interact with foods. Humira is indicated for the treatment of several different conditions, and the dietary needs of patients taking Humira can vary depending on the individual patient and their condition. It’s important to ask your doctor if you’ll need to make changes to your diet before starting Humira.

While Humira itself does not interact with food, it can increase the risk of infections. To reduce this risk, you may need to take precautions, including:

• Avoiding raw or undercooked animal products (e.g., eggs, meat, poultry, seafood)
• Practicing proper food safety (e.g., washing hands, cooking food thoroughly)
• Following general infection prevention measures (e.g., avoiding crowds, staying away from sick individuals)

Should I Adjust My Diet While on Humira?

Your dietary needs may depend on your specific condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, or psoriasis. Discuss with your doctor whether any dietary modifications are necessary for your treatment plan.
