Adalimumab
A biologic injection that targets and neutralizes a protein called TNF-alpha, which drives inflammation in a wide range of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. It is used for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other immune-mediated diseases. Before starting treatment, patients are screened for tuberculosis and hepatitis B, and they should avoid live vaccines throughout therapy.

Methotrexate is intentionally combined with adalimumab in rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions to reduce adalimumab immunogenicity and improve efficacy; co-administration requires monitoring for additive immunosuppression.
Azithromycin may interact modestly with adalimumab-treated patients through immunomodulatory properties, though direct pharmacokinetic interaction is minimal and the combination is used routinely in clinical practice.
Combining adalimumab with cyclosporine produces substantial additive immunosuppression, increasing the risk of serious opportunistic infections, lymphoma, and other immunosuppression-related malignancies.
