Humira is an immunomodulator, or in other words, a drug that modulates the immune system. It is considered a biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD). Humira is a genetically engineered antibody, or protein used by the immune system to identify and neutralize substances. Humira is believed to work by neutralizing tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), a chemical messenger involved in autoimmune attacks.
