Guest guest Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Do your 3 shots equal 3 weeks? I am curious because I am taking a trial drug that I think is similar to Enbrel bit it is in an oral form. 3 pills a day but I have only been on it for a week. I think I have less fatigue but it could be the placebo effect. The only reason I think it may be the real thing is that I have heartburn and some other unusual (to me) minor symptoms. Usually, with Nexium and the Nsaid I do not have heartburn and it is a listed side effect. I know it works really well for a lot of people.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Enbrel and the other biologics are proteins that would be digested if exposed to the stomach. I have heard of efforts to coat them so they pass through the stomach and are exposed in the intestines. I have not tried to follow this so I don't know the status of it.
