Methotrexate (MTX), other non-biologic DMARDS, glucocorticoids, nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and/or analgesics may be continued during treatment with YUFLYMA. In the treatment of RA, some patients not taking concomitant MTX may derive additional benefit from increasing the dosage of YUFLYMA to 40 mg every week or 80 mg every other week.

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

The recommended subcutaneous dosage of YUFLYMA for patients 2 years of age and older with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is based on weight as shown below. MTX, glucocorticoids, NSAIDs, and/or analgesics may be continued during treatment with YUFLYMA.

There is no dosage form for YUFLYMA that allows weight-based dosing for pediatric patients below 30 kg.

Adalimumab products have not been studied in patients with polyarticular JIA less than 2 years of age or in patients with a weight below 10 kg.

Begin 40 mg weekly or 80 mg every other week dosing two weeks later (Day 29).

Monitoring to Assess Safety

Prior to initiating YUFLYMA and periodically during therapy, evaluate patients for active tuberculosis and test for latent infection [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

General Considerations for Administration

YUFLYMA is intended for use under the guidance and supervision of a physician. A patient may self-inject YUFLYMA or a caregiver may inject YUFLYMA using either the YUFLYMA AI or YUFLYMA prefilled syringe if a physician determines that it is appropriate, and with medical follow-up, as necessary, after proper training in subcutaneous injection technique.

YUFLYMA can be taken out of the refrigerator for about 15 to 30 minutes before injecting to allow the liquid to come to room temperature. Do not remove the cap or cover while allowing it to reach room temperature. Do not shake. Carefully inspect the solution in the YUFLYMA AI or YUFLYMA prefilled syringe for particulate matter and discoloration prior to subcutaneous administration. If particulates and discolorations are noted, do not use the product.

YUFLYMA does not contain preservatives; therefore, discard unused portions of drug remaining from the syringe.

Instruct patients using the YUFLYMA AI or YUFLYMA prefilled syringe to inject the full amount in the syringe, according to the directions provided in the Instructions for Use [see Instructions for Use].

Injections should occur at separate sites in the thigh or abdomen. Rotate injection sites and do not give injections into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red or hard.

If a dose is missed, administer the dose as soon as possible. Thereafter, resume dosing at the regular scheduled time.
