Rheumatoid arthritis dosing
The recommended dose of ENBREL for adult patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is
50 mg per week. A 50 mg dose can be given as one subcutaneous injection (an injection beneath the skin) using either a 50 mg/mL Enbrel® SureClick® autoinjector or a 50 mg/mL single-use prefilled syringe. A 50 mg dose can also be given as two 25 mg subcutaneous injections using 25 mg/0.5 mL single-use prefilled syringes or free-hand vials.
Do not miss any doses of ENBREL. Call your doctor if you miss a dose of ENBREL. Your doctor will tell you when to take your missed dose.
Injection site reactions such as redness, rash, swelling, itching, or bruising
may occur. These symptoms usually go away within 3 to 5 days. If you experience
these reactions and they get worse or don't go away, call your doctor.
