Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Abatacept: Increased risk of serious infection ( 5.1 , 5.11 , 7.2 ) Anakinra: Increased risk of serious infection ( 5.1 , 5.7 , 7.2 ) Live vaccines: Avoid use with YUFLYMA ( 5.10 , 7.3 ) 7.1 Methotrexate Adalimumab has been studied in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients taking concomitant methotrexate (MTX). Although MTX reduced the apparent clearance of adalimumab, the data do not suggest the need for dose adjustment of either YUFLYMA or MTX [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
Warnings
WARNING: SERIOUS INFECTIONS and MALIGNANCY WARNING: SERIOUS INFECTIONS and MALIGNANCY See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning. SERIOUS INFECTIONS ( 5.1 , 6.1 ): Increased risk of serious infections leading to hospitalization or death, including tuberculosis (TB), bacterial sepsis, invasive fungal infections (such as histoplasmosis), and infections due to other opportunistic pathogens.
