Hello,
No, there is no interaction between Humira and biotin. These products can be used at the same time
However, you should know that biotin can sometimes influence certain blood test results. So if you are taking biotin supplements, your doctor should be informed.
Hope to see you soon,

Thank you for the answer. Can I know which results it affects?
Sarah-Yan Chagnon · 4 years ago
Biotin can distort many laboratory results such as thyroid (TSH, PTH), hormonal (prolactin, progesterone, testosterone, FSH), vitamin (vitamin D, folic acid, vitamin B12) and cardiac (troponin). This is a non-exhaustive list
Thus, it is recommended that the physician be aware of the biotin intake and it is often recommended to stop the vitamin at least 72 hours before the blood tests
