Enbrel and the common cold

[Guest guest]

I am supposed to start on Enbrel on Friday and think I

may be catching the cold my hubby brought home from

work. How does this affect Enbrel? Do I have to go

off it every time I think I may be catching a cold or

something? Normally I am extremely healthy but, of

course, a victim of rotten timing.

Thanks

Dianne

Ronnie - from what I've read, it's very important to let your rheumy know

about an illness, even a head cold. I recently had to stop because of strep,

but I think any bacterial or viral infection, no matter how slight, should be

reported.
