Do Humira Injections Cause Frequent Urination?

I am taking Humira injections for Psoriatic Arthritis.I am experiencing frequent night time, every two hours, urination. Full stream with good voiding but just lots of urine? Also experiencing constipation, no bowel movements each day usually every other day. Are these normal side effects of Humira. I began shots in August of 2013.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
Humira (adalimumab) belongs to the class of medications called biological response modifiers or TNF(Tumour necrosis factor) blocker.
The symptoms of increased urination you are experiencing is the side efffect of Humira.It may be a sign of urinary tract infection caused by Humira.I would advice you to check with your doctor as soon as possible.
Humira causes diarrohea as a side effect.Constipation is not because of this drug.I would suggest you to eat lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables rich in dietary fibres that will help you to bring down your constipation.
Hope you are satisfied with the answer.
Thank you.
