1. What is Hyrimoz and what is it used for

Hyrimoz contains the active ingredient adalimumab, a medication that acts on the body's immune system.

Hyrimoz is indicated for the treatment of the inflammatory diseases described below:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis,
  • Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis,
  • Arthritis associated with enthesitis,
  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Undifferentiated axial spondyloarthritis without radiographic evidence of ankylosing spondylitis,
  • Psoriatic arthritis,
  • Plaque psoriasis,
  • Hidradenitis suppurativa,
  • Crohn's disease,
  • Ulcerative colitis,
  • Non-infectious uveitis.

The active ingredient of Hyrimoz, adalimumab, is a monoclonal antibody. Monoclonal antibodies are proteins that target a specific site in the body.

The target of adalimumab is another protein called tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), which is found in elevated concentrations in the aforementioned inflammatory diseases. By binding to TNFα, Hyrimoz blocks its action and reduces inflammation in these diseases.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease of the joints.

Hyrimoz is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis in adults. If you have active moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, you may be given Hyrimoz before other disease-modifying medications such as methotrexate. If these medications do not work well enough, you will be given Hyrimoz to treat your rheumatoid arthritis.

Hyrimoz can also be used in the treatment of severe, active, and progressive rheumatoid arthritis without prior treatment with methotrexate.

Hyrimoz can reduce the damage to the cartilage and bones of the joints caused by the disease and improve physical performance.

Hyrimoz is usually used in combination with methotrexate. If your doctor considers methotrexate not suitable, Hyrimoz can be administered alone.

Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis is an inflammatory disease of the joints that typically appears for the first time in childhood.

Hyrimoz is used to treat polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in children and adolescents aged 2 to 17 years. Patients may have received first other disease-modifying medications, such as methotrexate. If these medications do not work well enough, patients will receive Hyrimoz.

Arthritis Associated with Enthesitis

Arthritis associated with enthesitis is an inflammatory disease of the joints and the sites of tendon attachment to bone. Hyrimoz is used to treat arthritis associated with enthesitis in patients aged 6 years and older. Patients may have received first other disease-modifying medications, such as methotrexate. If they do not respond sufficiently well to these medications, patients will be given Hyrimoz.

Ankylosing Spondylitis and Undifferentiated Axial Spondyloarthritis without Radiographic Evidence of Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis and undifferentiated axial spondyloarthritis without radiographic evidence of ankylosing spondylitis are inflammatory diseases that affect the spine.

Hyrimoz is used in adults to treat these diseases. If you have ankylosing spondylitis or undifferentiated axial spondyloarthritis without radiographic evidence of ankylosing spondylitis, you will be treated first with other medications, and if these medications do not work well enough, you will receive Hyrimoz to reduce the signs and symptoms of your disease.

Plaque Psoriasis in Adults and Children

Plaque psoriasis is an inflammatory disease of the skin that causes red, scaly, crusty areas covered with silvery scales. Plaque psoriasis can also affect the nails, causing them to deteriorate, thicken, and lift from the nail bed, which can be painful. It is believed that plaque psoriasis is caused by a defect in the body's immune system that leads to an increase in skin cell production.

Hyrimoz is used to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults. Hyrimoz is also used to treat severe plaque psoriasis in children and adolescents aged 4 to 17 years who have not responded or are not good candidates for topical medications or UV treatment.

Psoriatic Arthritis

Psiatic arthritis is an inflammatory disease of the joints associated with psoriasis.

Hyrimoz is used to treat psoriatic arthritis in adults. Hyrimoz can reduce the joint damage caused by the disease in cartilage and bone and improve physical performance.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa in Adults and Adolescents

Hidradenitis suppurativa (also known as inverse acne) is a long-lasting and often painful inflammatory disease of the skin. Symptoms can include sensitive nodules (lumps) and abscesses (boils) that can secrete pus.

It usually affects specific areas of the skin, such as under the chest, armpits, inner thighs, groin, and buttocks. It can also cause scarring in affected areas.

Hyrimoz is used to treat

  • moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa in adults and
  • moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa in adolescents from 12 to 17 years.

Hyrimoz can reduce the number of nodules and abscesses and the pain that usually accompanies this disease. You may have received other medications previously. If these medications do not work well enough, you will receive Hyrimoz.

Crohn's Disease in Adults and Children

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory disease of the digestive tract.

Hyrimoz is used to treat

  • moderate to severe Crohn's disease in adults and
  • moderate to severe Crohn's disease in children and adolescents from 6 to 17 years of age.

If you have Crohn's disease, you will be treated first with other medications. If you do not respond sufficiently well to these medications, you will receive Hyrimoz to reduce the signs and symptoms of Crohn's disease.

Ulcerative Colitis in Adults and Children

Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the large intestine.

Hyrimoz is used to treat

  • moderate to severe ulcerative colitis in adults and
  • moderate to severe ulcerative colitis in children and adolescents from 6 to 17 years of age.

If you suffer from ulcerative colitis, you may be given other medications first. If these medications do not work well enough, you will be given Hyrimoz to reduce the signs and symptoms of ulcerative colitis.

Non-Infectious Uveitis in Adults and Children

Non-infectious uveitis is an inflammatory disease that affects certain parts of the eye. Inflammation causes a decrease in vision and/or the presence of floaters in the eye (black dots or thin lines that move across the field of vision). Hyrimoz acts by reducing this inflammation.

Hyrimoz is used to treat

  • adults with non-infectious uveitis with inflammation affecting the back of the eye,
  • children from 2 years of age with chronic non-infectious uveitis with inflammation affecting the front of the eye.

You may have received other medications previously. If you do not respond sufficiently well to these medications, you will receive Hyrimoz.

2. What you need to know before your child starts using Hyrimoz

No use Hyrimoz

  • If you are allergic to adalimumab or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
  • If you have a severe infection, including tuberculosis, sepsis (blood poisoning), or other opportunistic infections (uncommon infections associated with a weakened immune system). If you have symptoms of any infection, such as fever, wounds, fatigue, or dental problems, inform your doctor (see "Warnings and precautions").
  • If you have moderate or severe heart failure. It is essential to inform your doctor if you have had or have any serious heart problems (see "Warnings and precautions").

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use Hyrimoz.

Allergic reaction

  • If you have an allergic reaction with symptoms such as chest tightness, difficulty breathing, dizziness, swelling, or hives, discontinue Hyrimoz administration and contact your doctor immediately, as these reactions can be life-threatening in rare cases.

Infections

  • If you have any infection, including chronic or localized infections (e.g., a leg ulcer), consult your doctor before starting treatment with Hyrimoz. If unsure, contact your doctor.
  • With Hyrimoz treatment, you may be more susceptible to infections. This risk may be higher if your lung function decreases. These infections can be severe and include tuberculosis, viral, fungal, parasitic, or bacterial infections, or other rare infectious organisms, and sepsis (blood poisoning).
  • In rare cases, these infections can be life-threatening. It is essential to inform your doctor if you have symptoms such as fever, wounds, fatigue, or dental problems. Your doctor may recommend temporarily stopping Hyrimoz treatment.

Tuberculosis (TB)

  • Since cases of tuberculosis have been reported in patients treated with adalimumab, your doctor will examine you for signs or symptoms of tuberculosis before starting your treatment with Hyrimoz. This will include a thorough medical evaluation, including your medical history and diagnostic tests (e.g., chest X-ray and tuberculin test). The results of these tests should be recorded in yourpatient information card. It is crucial to inform your doctor if you have had tuberculosis or have been in contact with a tuberculosis patient. You can develop tuberculosis during treatment, even if you have received preventive treatment for tuberculosis. If you experience symptoms of tuberculosis (persistent cough, weight loss, fatigue, or low-grade fever) or any other infection during or after treatment, contact your doctor immediately.

Travel/infection recurrence

  • Inform your doctor if you have lived or traveled to areas where fungal infections such as histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, or blastomycosis are common.
  • Inform your doctor if you have a history of recurrent infections or other conditions or factors that increase the risk of infections.

Hepatitis B virus

  • Inform your doctor if you are a carrier of the hepatitis B virus (HBV), if you have active HBV infection, or if you think you may be at risk of contracting HBV. Your doctor should perform a test for HBV. Adalimumab can reactivate HBV in individuals who are carriers of this virus. In rare cases, especially if you are taking other medications that suppress the immune system, reactivation of HBV infection can be life-threatening.

Age 65 or older

  • If you are 65 or older, you may be more susceptible to infections while taking Hyrimoz. Both you and your doctor should pay special attention to the appearance of infection symptoms while you are being treated with Hyrimoz. It is essential to inform your doctor if you have symptoms of infections, such as fever, wounds, fatigue, or dental problems.

Dental procedures or surgery

  • If you are scheduled for a surgical or dental procedure, inform your doctor that you are using Hyrimoz. Your doctor may recommend temporarily stopping Hyrimoz treatment.

Demyelinating diseases

  • If you have or develop a demyelinating disease (a disease that affects the insulating layer around nerves, such as multiple sclerosis), your doctor will decide whether you should be treated or continue treatment with Hyrimoz. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms such as vision changes, weakness in arms or legs, or numbness or tingling in any part of your body.

Vaccinations

  • Certain vaccines contain live but weakened bacteria or viruses that cause diseases and should not be administered during Hyrimoz treatment, as they may cause infections. Consult your doctor before receiving any type of vaccine. It is recommended that children receive all scheduled vaccinations before starting Hyrimoz treatment. If you receive Hyrimoz while pregnant, your child may be at a higher risk of developing infections for approximately 5 months after the last dose you received during pregnancy. It is essential to inform your child's doctor and other healthcare professionals about your use of Hyrimoz during pregnancy, so they can decide whether your child should receive any vaccinations.

Heart failure

  • It is essential to inform your doctor if you have had or have any serious heart problems. If you have mild heart failure and are being treated with Hyrimoz, your doctor should closely monitor your heart failure. If you experience new symptoms of heart failure or worsening existing symptoms (e.g., difficulty breathing or swelling in your feet), contact your doctor immediately.

Fever, petechiae, bleeding, or pale appearance

  • In some patients, the body may be unable to produce enough of the type of white blood cells that fight infections (white blood cells) or the platelets that contribute to stopping bleeding. If you have persistent fever, petechiae, or easily bleed or appear pale, consult your doctor immediately. Your doctor may decide to discontinue treatment.

Cancer

  • In rare cases, certain types of cancer have been reported in children and adults treated with adalimumab or other TNFα blockers. Individuals with severe rheumatoid arthritis and those who have had the disease for a long time may be at a higher risk of developing lymphoma and leukemia (cancer affecting blood cells and bone marrow). While taking Hyrimoz, the risk of developing lymphoma, leukemia, and other types of cancer may increase. A rare and severe type of lymphoma has been observed in patients treated with adalimumab, often in combination with azathioprine or mercaptopurine.
  • Inform your doctor if you are taking azathioprine or mercaptopurine with Hyrimoz.
  • Cases of non-melanoma skin cancer have been reported in patients using adalimumab. Inform your doctor if you develop new skin damage areas or if existing marks or damaged areas change appearance during or after treatment.
  • Cases of cancers other than lymphoma have been reported in patients with a specific lung disease, known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), treated with another TNFα blocker. If you have COPD or smoke heavily, consult your doctor about the suitability of TNFα blockers for your case.

Autoimmune diseases

  • In rare cases, treatment with Hyrimoz may lead to a lupus-like syndrome. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms such as persistent rash without explanation, fever, joint pain, or fatigue.

Children and adolescents

  • Do not administer Hyrimoz to children under 2 years old with juvenile idiopathic polyarticular arthritis.
  • Do not administer Hyrimoz to children under 4 years old with pediatric psoriasis or pediatric ulcerative colitis.
  • Do not administer Hyrimoz to children under 6 years old with pediatric Crohn's disease.
  • Do not use the 40 mg pre-filled pen if recommended doses are less than 40 mg.

Other medications and Hyrimoz

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication.

Hyrimoz can be taken with methotrexate or certain disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine, leflunomide, and injectable gold preparations), corticosteroids, or pain medications, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Do not use Hyrimoz with medications whose active ingredients are anakinra or abatacept due to an increased risk of severe infection. Do not recommend combining adalimumab and other TNF antagonists with anakinra or abatacept, as this may increase the risk of infections, including severe infections and other possible pharmacological interactions. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

  • Consider using suitable contraceptive methods to avoid pregnancy and continue using them for at least 5 months after the last Hyrimoz treatment.
  • If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor about the use of this medication.
  • Hyrimoz should only be used during pregnancy if necessary.
  • A study on pregnancy found no increased risk of congenital defects when the mother received adalimumab during pregnancy compared to mothers with the same disease who did not receive adalimumab.
  • Hyrimoz can be used during breastfeeding.
  • If you use Hyrimoz while pregnant, your child may be at a higher risk of developing an infection.
  • It is essential to inform your child's doctor and other healthcare professionals about your use of Hyrimoz during pregnancy before your child receives any vaccinations (for more information on vaccinations, see the "Warnings and precautions" section).

Driving and operating machinery

The influence of Hyrimoz on your ability to drive, ride a bike, or operate machinery is minimal. You may experience dizziness and visual disturbances after using Hyrimoz.

Hyrimoz contains sodium

This medication contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per 0.4 ml dose; it is essentially "sodium-free."
