What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Yuflyma (adalimumab-aaty) is a biosimilar to Humira (adalimumab), a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a). It is indicated for the treatment of multiple chronic inflammatory conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, plaque psoriasis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and uveitis. Yuflyma binds specifically to TNF-a, neutralizing its activity and reducing inflammation, tissue destruction, and immune dysregulation associated with autoimmune diseases.

Routes of administration

Subcutaneous

Directions

Yuflyma is administered as a subcutaneous injection. The dosage and frequency depend on the indication and patient factors such as age and body weight. For example, in adult rheumatoid arthritis, the typical dose is 40 mg every other week, which may be increased to weekly administration if needed. Pediatric dosages vary based on weight and indication.

The injection should be given in the thigh or abdomen, rotating injection sites with each dose. Patients may self-administer after proper training by a healthcare professional. The product should be stored refrigerated and brought to room temperature before use.

Ingredients

Each prefilled syringe or autoinjector of Yuflyma contains 40 mg of adalimumab-aaty in 0.4 mL solution (100 mg/mL). Inactive ingredients include histidine, histidine hydrochloride monohydrate, trehalose dihydrate, polysorbate 80, and water for injection. Yuflyma is latex-free and citrate-free, formulated to reduce injection site pain.

Contraindications

Yuflyma is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to adalimumab or any excipients. It is also contraindicated in patients with active tuberculosis or other severe infections such as sepsis, and in those with moderate to severe heart failure (NYHA Class III/IV).

Cautions

Serious infections, including tuberculosis, invasive fungal infections, and opportunistic pathogens, have occurred. Patients should be evaluated for TB risk and screened for latent tuberculosis prior to initiation. Reactivation of hepatitis B has also been reported. Use caution in patients with chronic or recurrent infections, demyelinating diseases, malignancies, or those on concurrent immunosuppressive therapy.

Patients should be monitored for new or worsening neurological symptoms, signs of malignancy (particularly lymphoma in pediatric and adolescent patients), and hematologic abnormalities. Live vaccines should be avoided during treatment.

Side Effects

Common and serious side effects associated with Yuflyma include:

  • Injection site reactions (e.g., redness, pain, swelling)
  • Upper respiratory tract infections
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Rash
  • Increased risk of serious infections (e.g., tuberculosis, pneumonia)
  • Hepatitis B reactivation
  • Demyelinating disease (e.g., multiple sclerosis-like symptoms)
  • Malignancies (e.g., lymphoma, skin cancer)
  • Heart failure exacerbation
  • Cytopenias (rare)
