- I’ve been on Humira to treat Crohn’s Disease for 8 years now. I was recently switched to a Humira Biosimilar called Hadlima.
This year 8-9 biosimilars to Humira are coming out and they are significantly cheaper.
A couple of weeks ago I was switched to one as it is now the preferred product with my insurance.
Here’s a little about biosimilars and my experience with the first injection.
I'm currently on Humira and I hope I don't have to change
My insurance denied Humira , my doctor put me on Hadlima.. I am so horrified to gain weight, Liver Damage. Hair loss.. I have it in front off me but I think I gonna pass it and don’t start any off this medication.. in this point I don’t care anymore
Hi! I understand the fears, I had some as well when beginning these new meds. So I’ve been on Humira since 2015 and was on the Hadlima as well and have switched back and forth due to insurance stuff. I have not experienced any of those side effects. I also don’t know of anyone who has experienced them and I know a lot of people on Humira, Hadlima and the other Biosimilars. Is this your first biologic to try? For myself and others the benefits of taking the medicine in terms of getting g my disease under control outweighed the small chance I experienced any side effects and I’ve also actually not had any side effects other than some injection site reactions. I’m happy to answer any questions! I know this process is scary.
I’m about to start Hadlima next week. How is everyone coping?
Good luck! It was an easy switch for me. You switching from Humira?
How has hadlima been for since this video. I'm having my first injection from Humira. 😅
It’s been fine. I’ve had no issues with it! I am going back to Humira but that’s only because my insurance changed in January and they haven’t implemented biosimilars yet 🤷🏻♂️ but Hadlima was great!
@@AaronBlocker thanks for the update! It definitely put me at ease.
So what your saying hadlima is not the good stuff!? Because i just got prescribed this! What is the difference then hadlima or hamira
Hadlima is good, or was for me. It’s just the Biosimilar for Humira so they are very similar to another. Hadlima injector pen is a little different than Humira but just as easy, the injections feel exactly the same and work well.
I've been on hadmila for like 7 months now.. psoriasis is clear.. side effects i feel is i get tired for a few days and headaches. And gained weight. :( but scared of bad side effects.
