Does Humira cause liver problems?

Yes, Humira can cause liver problems including liver failure. Humira, which is the brand name for adalimumab injection, is usually used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. It works by blocking a substance in the body, TNF, that causes inflammation. Humira can cause liver problems in any patient as a general side effect, but it is more likely to cause issues in those who have Hepatitis B, or another liver condition already. You should talk to your physician before starting the medicine to see if you are a good candidate. For your condition the benefits of Humira may outweigh the risks.
