Abbott’s New HUMIRA® Delivery Device (HUMIRA Pen), USFDA Approved

humira-pen.bmpThe USFDA has just approved Abbott’s HUMIRA Pen, a new device for administering HUMIRA® (adalimumab), a treatment approved for moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

The HUMIRA pen offer offers improved ease of use for arthritic patients with its one-touch activation and easy-to-grasp size and shape. This device provides a less painful experience for some patients; it has a needle that is not visible during the injection process.

I wouldn’t ask for arthritis in my older days, but if ever I acquire one…HUMIRA Pen is heaven for somebody terrified of needles like myself.

The HUMIRA Pen will be available to patients starting August 2006.
