Common questions
How long does Adalimumab Injection stay in your system?
Most adalimumab leaves your system about 2 to 3 months after your last injection. Its half-life averages 2 weeks, with a reported range of 10 to 20 days. Using five half-lives gives an estimated 50 to 100 days for most of the drug to clear, though some remains. This calculation does not establish when your immune function returns to normal. Ask your prescriber to plan any treatment pause, surgery, or live vaccine. Contact your care team promptly if you develop fever, a persistent cough, or painful urination, including after you stop treatment.
