Question for Enbrel users
| Thu, 10-20-2005 - 4:58pm |
I was just wondering how sick you have to be to stop taking Enbrel. I know you're not suppose to take it when you're sick, but how sick? I have the beginning stages of a cold, scratchy throat and fatigue, but I'm not terribly ill. I'll probably just call one of the Enbrel nurses, but I was just curious as to what constitutes being sick enough to miss a dose and what your experiences have been.
Thanks!

Barb, check with your rheumy. The only times I have had to get off Enbrel were when I was put on an anti-biotic. However, I am not one to catch a regular cold. I head straight for strep throat or bronchitis and not frequently. It is always better to talk to your rheumy and maybe see your primary, if you don't feel better tomorrow.
Get well soon,

Hope you feel better soon
