Enbrel How to Take

Enbrel (Etanercept) belongs to the class of medications called biological response modifiers ("biologics") or tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNF blockers). It is used to treat:

  • active ankylosing spondylitis
  • chronic moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in adults
  • moderate-to-severe juvenile idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) in children and adolescents 4 to 17 years of age who have not responded to another class of medications called disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs)
  • moderate-to-severe Rheumatoid Arthritis in adults
  • Psoriatic Arthritis in adults
  • chronic severe psoriatic arthritis in children ages 4 to 17 who are candidates for light therapy or other medications

People with these conditions produce extra amounts of proteins called tumour necrosis factor (TNF), causing pain, inflammation, and damage. Enbrel (Etanercept) works by blocking the production of TNF and reducing inflammation in the joints and on the skin. The benefits of using Enbrel (Etanercept) may be seen as early as one week after the start of treatment in adults or 2 weeks in children, with the full effect usually achieved by 3 months.
