Which Part D insurance plan has the best coverage and cost factor for the humira pen. I dose 40 mg every other week.

Over the past year my arthritis persisted despite doses of prednisone ranging from 6 - 40 mg per day and I failed on MTX so was switched to Imuran at the max dose of 150 mg per day. That didn't do the trick so I was put on humira in mid April.

are you checking with the manufactory on cost savings cards? I have been on Humira for over a year and the manufacture subsidies the cost to were i pay 25 a month for two 40m pens.

My husband missed his dose of Humira by 24 hours a week ago. He is now vomiting regularly like he did prior to his diagnosis. Is this normal with a missed dose? He has been on Humira since September.

anyone getting Humira, my hubby refuses to pay out of pocket $2000 for starter pack

Your post was about a year ago, but I am wondering how you have been doing on the Humira? I am in a similar situation - I was diagnosed with SLE in Sept 2010 with main symptoms of finger, hand, and wrist arthritis that did not respond to MTX or moderate doses of prednisone (6 - 40 mg per day over the past year). MTX was stopped in Jan 2011 and Imuran started, but my arthritis persisted so I was put on Humira in mid April 2011.

How much damage could I do taking only one pill (Norco) per day. Just one pill really helps me. Thanks.

A doctor at the VA diagnosed you with this and prescribes your medication. The maintenance dose of Humira is typically 40 mg after the starting regime that is often higher doses. Are you still having symptoms at your maintenance dose? https://www.drugs.com/dosage/humira.

Hi monicaroni, I have been taking Humira almost 8 months. I take humira for Crohns Althougth reap the benefit for the AS. I am thinking that you probably had a concurrent infection brewing when you Started Humira. Good Luck managing your AS, I appreciate how difficult it can be with mobility issues, and treating pain.

From my personal experience, I can tell you it cost about USD 2800 per dose, back in Kerala, India. If i remember right, the bottle said INR 130,000. Yes, an insane price, one which makes no sense. I wish you well, good luck.

I was put on Humira for a few months, then had to go off of it because the cost was prohibitive. My co-pay even with insurance would have been $800.00 per month. It's so sad because it worked wonders for me.

I was diagnosed with Crohn's 9 years ago. I have been taking Asacol (5-ASA) and Imuran (Azathioprine). Last february I was hospitalized for the first time and was put on prednisone. I am still on prednisone and my body won't let me get off of it. My doctor wants me to start Humira, but I am scared. I don't like reading about the side effects and things that can happen when on that drug. Does anyone have any experience with this drug (Humira)? I would really appreciate it.

My doctor wants me to take a bunch of expensive tests and I feel like I want to wait and see if the Humira kicks in again. Does anybody know if the Humira stays in your system and gets stronger with each dose or does it ware off. Should I treat this flare or wait and see? I hate this!

I had a high risk exposure almost 10 weeks ago. I took one 40mg dose of Humira two to three weeks before exposure. 1.Will that one dose of Humira affect or prolong the production of Hiv antibodies or p24 antigen. 2. I've been having symptoms since week 2 and have gotten worse since. It started with a rash on my torso. some of the rashes looked like purple streaks and some looked like pink spots. they weren't that many and they didn't stay long.

Sorry I don't have Kaiser health insurance, maybe someone else here does, but those prices sound about right. Those are your "co-pay costs", the "actual cost" is thousands of dollars per month as you have heard. I had Blue Cross of California during treatment and my co-pay cost were similar to the prices you quoted.

t help that the insurance is giving me a bunch of bull-crap and I have missed my second dose of Humira (medication for rheumatoid arthritis, which was really helping!). I am considered opiate-tolerant by some of my doctors. Right now I am just in agony. I'm taking anti-inflammatories along with MS-Contin. I'm to take one 15mg tablet of MS-Contin every 12 hours. Should I call the doctor tomorrow about this or give it some more time?

Herceptin is available at a cost of Rs 1.10 Lac per dose in Delhi.It is supplied by a renowned supplier in West Delhi.It is of Roche company.

With only 10 to 30 grams of Sovaldi needed for successful treatment, the difference from the $30 production cost for Gilead’s full course of treatment—30 grams x $1.00 per gram—to $84,000 for the 12-week treatment program represents a retail markup of 279,000%.) Weinstein’s letter to state Medicaid directors also reminds them that, “Gilead did not pay to research and develop Sovaldi. In 2011, it purchased Pharmasset, the company that had already developed the drug, for $11 billion in cash.

I am still waiting for an answer from the pharmaceutical company on the Humira, as I also have NO insurance. I am on Endocort (steroid with a LOT less side effects than prednisone), Pentassa, Depression meds, Trammadol (pain), percocet (pain), azathioprine 75mg. Still, I am in pain almost daily. Every once in a while I have a good day. I am really having a hard time, mentally and physically. I have always been very active, early to rise and then go go go go...

My daughter was also on EVERYTHING, but nothing helped. She had her first mega dose of Humira yesterday and, right now, she is feeling fine. I am going to tell her that you would like to speak to her about the colectomy surgeries. She and her family are preparing to go to Florida on Thursday where our whole family is going to celebrate my mother-in-law's 90th birthday. She will be home around March 11th. I am sure she will be happy to speak to you about her experience.

What are some cheaper options for inhaled cortosterioids? I technically do not have asthma, but reactive airways instead. However this could just be due to the lack of consistency in my test results to point at asthma. I am trying advair 250/50 right now, and it has improved my symptoms 90% within an hour of the first dose (minus one very stressful day that sucked and I couldn't breathe).

Thanks so much for all the great info. Not sure yet what my dr is putting me on but praying is something we can afford!

I've been on Enbrel for about 5 years and it has been an extremely good medication for both the psoriasis and the psoriatic arthritis. My concern is what am I going to do now that my husband is retired and my health insurance won't cover the cost. I live in Canada and the cost of this medication is approximately $22,000.00 a year which my husband's company insurance covered but now that he is retired, it will not cover the cost for my lifetime.
