Re: INFO - Enbrel administration instructions

They certainly don't provide any extra syringes and needles to use for

this. There's no way that I would throw away a syringe with that

expensive Enbrel in it.

Those folks have to say that for malpractice purposes. In reality, you

already have your standard bugs and bacteria in your body, so it won't hurt

a thing, I'm sure. I won't throw MTX away, either. I'm supposed to pull one

shot out of a vial and throw the rest away. No way, it's still good and it's

paid for!
