Can I donate Plasma while I'm on Humira

[Jade D]

When we have blood drives at school I usually go donate blood.
and when I need extra cash I give plasma.
I have Psoriasis and I am about to start Humira in 2 weeks
Can I still give blood? Plasma?

Oh and if not why not?
Does it contaminate the blood plasma?
Or does it do harm to the individual giving it?

I don't see psoriasis as a reason for temporary or permanent deferral from donating blood or plasma. However, it is still under the discretion of the medical personnel who's in charge of accepting donors for blood and plasma. Be sure to check with your local blood bank and provide them with your diagnosis and a complete medication list.

However, according to Sloan-Kettering - Donating Blood & Platelets: Medications That May Delay Your Donation, patients taking Humira have to delay donating blood & platelets until six months after completing last dose.
