Amjevita (adalimumab-atto) is a biologic medication used to treat HS. Like other biologics, it doesn't work overnight — patience is key here!
It can take up to 3 months to start seeing the effects of a biologic like Amjevita. So even if you begin taking it during a flare-up, it likely won't help with that current flare right away.
Here are a few important things to keep in mind:
- Your doctor may still prescribe other treatments alongside Amjevita to help manage flares in the meantime
- Pain medications can still be used for acute pain while waiting for the biologic to kick in
- Minor surgical procedures can also help relieve pain during this waiting period
It's really important to report any side effects — especially signs of infection or irritation at the injection site — to your doctor as soon as possible.
Hang in there — the wait can be frustrating, but many people do find long-term relief with biologics.
