Q: has there been any reports of women taking this going into menopause early?
Hello Melissa,
I honestly don't know. Humira is still a pretty new medication, especially in the treatment of Crohn's. If you are experiencing menopause-like symptoms I would contact both your GI and your GYN. These biologic drugs are used because they shut down the immune system but I'm just not sure how that can or will affect a woman's monthly cycle.
Sorry not to be of more help to you. Best of luck,
Elizabeth
