Is Humira Safe To Take While Planning For Pregnancy?
Question: I use humira for akolosis sponsilitis would it be ok till try for a baby during this drug
Brief Answer:
Class B meaning shows no risk to fetus but no studies done
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You have been started on Humira for Ankylosing spondylitis and you are wanting to start a family. There are no XXXXXXX studies with using Humira in pregnancy or in men and affecting sperm or children. I would tell you that there probably no problems with you getting your wife pregnant while you are on Humira. But since there are no studies you do run a risk but a very low risk. It will also not reduce your sperm counts.
In summary
1. Class B pregnancy rating
2. No affect on sperm
3. low risk but no drug studies have been done.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
