Thank you. I'll do some searching at the FDA's site.

My co-pay for the brand name last week increased 2-1/3 times.

I have just been told to take these injecections for my psoriatiic
arthritis. The first injection that I took last week gave me great
relief. The second one had little effect and all the stiffness of my
anckle returned.
Does anyone have experience with this injectable drug....Enbrel ....that
they could share with me...

Also it usually takes a few weeks before it really gets into your
system. Hang in there and give it a little time.

My brother who is 47 has been taking Embrel injectable for several
years for psoriatic arthritis.

Prior to that he'd been on Methotrexate, gold, etc. was limited
results. His results with Embrel have been remarkable.

I took it - it helped some, but I had a bizarre, never heard of reaction that
probably has me off all TNF inhibitors. At first though, I did notice a huge
improvement in my fatigue, until the strange side effects kicked in. Pain &
inflammation-wise, it was little change over the previous, rather dangerous,
combo of mtx & arava I was on.

I know another person locally who was on it, but has switched to Humira which
has been more effective for him. Our (same) RD ays that one's apearing more
effective generally for PA. YMMV, of course, that's just mentioned should
enbrel not do it for you.

When i was on enbrel and mtx, my (mild) psoriasis was clear for the first
time in 30 years. That was even more delightful than I imagined!
