Humira (also know by its generic name adalimumab) is a TNF-alpha inhibitor approved by the FDA in October 2005 for use in adult patients to treat active psoriatic arthritis and in January 2008 to treat moderate-to-severe psoriasis. It is also approved to treat rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and uveitis.
