I've been struggling with hidradenitis suppurativa for years and tried tablets with no relief. Recently had surgery but still no improvement. My doctor suggested Humira injections - is this a good option? Also, could you recommend the best specialists for this in Ahmedabad or nearby areas in Gujarat? What are the names of similar injections available in India?
Humira (adalimumab) is an option for treating hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), especially when other treatments have failed. It's a biologic drug that helps reduce inflammation, a key factor in HS. If your doctor recommends Humira, it's worth exploring, but it's crucial to discuss potential side effects and risks with them. Other similar injections, also biologics, available in India for HS include BIMZELX® (bimekizumab-bkzx) and COSENTYX® (secukinumab)
