Use one month apart is not an approved scheme of conduct. The mean elimination half-life of adalimumab (the active ingredient in Humira) is approximately 2 weeks. This means that administering the drug at such an interval ensures that the steady state is maintained, i.e. the constant concentration of the drug in the blood required for the effectiveness of therapy. If you do not have symptoms, it means that the adopted way of proceeding, dosage and selected dose are right. According to the Humira dossier, adults with psoriasis are usually given an initial dose of 80 mg (two injections of 40 mg in one day), followed by 40 mg every other week one week after the initial dose. Depending on how you respond to treatment, your doctor may increase your dosage to 40 mg every week or 80 mg every other week. However, there is no question of extending the interval to one month. Give injections of Humira for as long as your doctor tells you. If you have doubts whether you would like to limit or stop treatment, contact a dermatologist: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I enclose additional information about the drug Humira - prescription preparations can be reserved for GdziePoLek and collected stationary upon presentation of the prescription: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/36536/humira-iniekcja/apteki/w-warszawie I also encourage you to browse our resources: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-leczyc-luszczyce https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/dermokosmetyki-na-luszczyce
