Adalimumab-adbm is an FDA-approved interchangeable biosimilar to Humira. The citrate-free, injectable medication is used to treat or reduce the signs and symptoms of certain autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis.

Beginning today, Boehringer Ingelheim’s unbranded biosimilar is available at more than 70,000 retail pharmacies for $550 for two-pack, which represents a 92% discount from the Humira list price. Both high-concentration and low-concentration citrate-free formulations in a pre-filled syringe or an autoinjector are available.

At the GoodRx website, it is noted that commercially insured patients may eligible for a $0 copay

The Humira biosimilar market has become competitive with now 10 products on the market, and manufacturing companies are developing different strategies.
