Re: Hi from new kid -Enbrel question

[Guest guest]

Hi , I was on Enbrel for a short period back in 2000. It's a great medication but the dosage can't be changed. I switched to Remicade so the dosage can be increased as my body needs more. If you've been on Enbrel for 2 years that's about the right time to develop an immunity to it. You may want to try Remicade or Kineret, since they are in the same class of drugs.

Good luck,
