What is Enbrel?

Enbrel is a prescription medicine called a Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) blocker that affects your immune system. Tumor necrosis factor is made by your body's immune system. People with immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and plaque psoriasis have too much TNF in their bodies.

How do You Use Enbrel?

Enbrel is a protein and is injected (by you or someone else) just under the skin. Once you've filled your prescription, schedule a training session with your doctor's office to learn the proper techniques for self-injection. During this session, you may administer your first dose of Enbrel . You'll learn what you need to know at the doctor's office to inject Enbrel at home.
