What is suggested when it comes to FUE transplant when patients are currently on humira?

May 12, 2018
Asked By:biscoff66 in Arlington, VA

Hi. I am currently taking humira injections every two weeks (40mg each) for rheumatoid arthritis. . Will the fue procedure require me to stop humira prior to, and after fue? I’ve read differing reports about stoppping tnf alpha blockers/inhibitors for ortho or dental surgery or gastric surgery. But there seems no clear standard on this...and I can find nothing about recommendations for hair transplant. Suspend or continue humira injections? Thank you in advance for your answers.
