Pill Side Effects

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Adalimumab.

Side effects may include:
Reaction at site of injection (bruising, itching, rash, redness, swelling)
Usually, the rash will go away within a few days. If the skin around the area where you injected Humira still hurts or is swollen, try using a towel soaked with cold water on the injection site. If you have pain, redness or swelling around the injection site that doesn’t go away within a few days or gets worse, call your doctor right away.

Getting haemophilus influenzae disease is much riskier than getting Hib vaccine. However, a vaccine, like any medicine, is capable of causing serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions. The risk of Hib vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small.

Seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor immediately if any of the following rare but serious side effects from Hib vaccine are experienced:
a serious allergic reaction including swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; hives; paleness; weakness; dizziness; or a fast heart beat within a few minutes to a few hours after the shot;

high fever; or

behavior changes.

Other less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Talk to your doctor if you experience:

fever over 101 degrees Fahrenheit (about up to 1 child in 20); or

redness, warmth, or swelling where the shot was given (up to about 1 child in 4).

If these problems happen, they usually start within a day of vaccination. They may last 2-3 days.

Your doctor may recommend reducing fever and pain by giving the child an aspirin-free pain reliever such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, Tempra, others) or ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, others) when the shot is given and for the next 24 hours. Your healthcare provider can tell you the appropriate dosages of these medications..

Keep track of any and all side effects your child has after receiving this vaccine. When the child receives the next booster dose, you will need to tell the doctor if the first shot caused any side effects. Getting diphtheria, tetanus, or pertussis disease is much riskier than getting DTaP vaccine. However, like any medicine, this vaccine, can cause side effects. The risk of DTaP vaccine causing a serious side effect is extremely small.

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if the child has any of the following serious side effects:

loss of consciousness;

seizure (black-out or convulsions);

high fever, over 105 degrees; or

non-stop crying for 3 hours or more.

Other less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Talk to your doctor if your child has:

mild fever;

redness, pain, tenderness, or swelling where the shot was given;

fussiness for 1-3 days after the shot;

tiredness or poor appetite for 1-3 days after the shot; or

vomiting for 1-3 days after the shot.
