- Hyrimoz was originally approved by the EC in 2018 with a concentration of 50mg/mL. If the adalimumab citrate-free HCF (100 mg/mL) formulation is approved, it offers reduced injection volume and decreases the number required for patients who need 80mg dosing. HCF will have the same auto-injector as Hyrimoz 50mg/mL
